engineering, formulae, markets, software (including source
and object code), hardware configuration, computer programs,
algorithms, business plans, agreements with third parties,
services, customers, marketing or finances of the disclosing
party, which Confidential Information is designated in writing
to be confidential or proprietary, or if given orally, is
confirmed in writing as having been disclosed as confidential
or proprietary within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty
(30) days) after the oral disclosure. Information and materials
related to the ERISA Pros system and documents are deemed to
be ERISA Pros. Confidential Information without the requirement
to identify such information and materials as such.
RESTRICTIONS
ERISA Pros and Customer each agree not to use any Confidential
Information disclosed to it by the other party for its own
use or for any purpose other than to carry out discussions
concerning, and the undertaking of, the Relationship.
Neither party shall disclose or permit disclosure of any
Confidential Information of the other party other than to third
parties, or to such disclosing party's employees, directors,
officers, employees, and agents ("Representatives"), who are
required to have the information in order to evaluate the
Relationship or meet such receiving party's obligations under
this Agreement; it being agreed that (i) such Representatives
shall be informed by the receiving party of the confidential
nature of such Confidential Information; (ii) except for
Representatives who are attorneys or accountants, such
Representatives shall be contractually obligated to treat
such Confidential Information as confidential substantially
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (iii)
the receiving party shall be responsible for the actions and
omissions of its Representatives as if they had been committed
by the receiving party. Each party agrees that it shall take
all commercially reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of,
and avoid disclosure or use of, Confidential Information of the
other party, in order to prevent it from falling into the public
domain or the possession of persons other than those persons
authorized under this Agreement to have any such information.
Such measures shall include, but are not be limited to, the
highest degree of care that the receiving party utilizes to
protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature
and no less than reasonable care. Each party, to the extent
such party is a receiving party, agrees to promptly notify the
other party whenever the receiving party becomes aware that
Confidential Information of the other party has been used or
disclosed in violation of this Agreement.
EXCEPTIONS
Notwithstanding the above, Confidential Information shall not
include any information of the other party, which the receiving
party can prove:
- was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or
has entered the public domain through no fault of the receiving
party;
- was known to the receiving party, without restriction,
at the time of disclosure, as demonstrated by files in existence
at the time of disclosure;
- is disclosed with the prior written approval
of the disclosing party;
- was independently developed by the receiving
party without any use of the Confidential Information of
the disclosing party and by employees of the receiving party
who have not had access to the Confidential Information, as
demonstrated by files created at the time of such independent
development;
- becomes known to the receiving party, without
restriction, from a source other than the disclosing party
without breach of this Agreement by the receiving party and
otherwise not in violation of the disclosing party's rights;
- is disclosed generally to third parties by
the disclosing party without restrictions similar to those
contained in this Agreement; or
- does not constitute a trade secret under applicable
law and was provided to the receiving party more than two (2)
years prior.
In addition, neither party shall have liability to the other
with regard to any Confidential Information of the other,
which the receiving party can prove is disclosed pursuant to the
order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other
governmental body; provided, however, that the receiving party
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prompt
notice of such court order or requirement to the disclosing
party to enable the disclosing party to seek a protective order
or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure. ERISA Pros
acknowledges that certain content it provides was developed
from information already in the public domain (e.g. federal
laws and regulations); however, the inclusion of this content
in ERISA Pros' product does not render the product itself part
of the "public domain" for purposes of this Section 3(b).
NO MODIFICATIONS
ERISA Pros and Company each agree that it shall not modify,
reverse engineer, decompile, create other works from or
disassemble any software programs contained in the Confidential
Information of the other party unless permitted in writing by
the disclosing party.
RETURN OF MATERIALS
Any materials or documents that have been furnished by one
party to the other in connection with the Relationship shall
be promptly returned by the receiving party, accompanied by
all copies of such documentation, within ten (10) days after
(a) the Relationship has been rejected or concluded or (b)
the written request of the disclosing party. Such materials
would include any materials or documents that may have been
provided by an independent third party.
Employees and Independent Contractors

that your employees and independent contractors, who act on your behalf, comply
with all the restrictions and limitations that apply to you as set forth in this
Agreement and that they do not exceed the scope of the license granted.
