Confidential Information shall include: (i) non-public information if it <br />is clearly and conspicuously marked as “confidential” or with a similar designation at <br />the time of disclosure; (ii) non-public information of a Party if it is identified as <br />confidential or proprietary before, during, or promptly after presentation. <br />ii)Subject to applicable law, each Party agrees to receive and hold any Confidential <br />Information in strict confidence. Each Party also agrees: (i) to protect and safeguard <br />the Confidential Information against unauthorized use, publication or disclosure; (ii) <br />not to reveal, report, publish, disclose, transfer, copy or otherwise use any <br />Confidential Information except as specifically authorized by the other Party; (iii) not <br />to use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than for performance under <br />this Agreement; (iv) to restrict access to Confidential Information to those of its <br />employees, agents, and contractors who have a need to know, who have been advised <br />of the confidential nature thereof, and who are under express written obligations of <br />confidentiality or under obligations of confidentiality imposed by law or rule; and (v) <br />to exercise at least the same standard of care and security to protect the Confidential <br />Information received by it as it protects its own confidential information. If a Party is <br />requested or required in a judicial, administrative, or governmental proceeding to <br />disclose any Confidential Information, it will notify the other Party as promptly as <br />practicable so that such Party may seek a protective order or waiver for that instance. <br />iii)Confidential Information shall not include information which: (i) is or becomes public <br />knowledge through no fault of either Party; (ii) was in a Party’s possession before <br />receipt from the other Party; (iii) is rightfully received by a Party from a third party <br />without any duty of confidentiality; (iv) is independently developed by a Party <br />without use or reference to the other Party’s Confidential Information; or (v) is <br />disclosed with the prior written consent of the Parties. <br />iv)Each Party shall return or destroy the Confidential Information upon written request <br />by the other Party; provided, however, that each Party may retain one copy of the <br />Confidential Information in order to comply with applicable law. County understands <br />and agrees that it may not always be possible to completely remove or delete all <br />Confidential Information from Provider’s databases without some residual data. <br />l.Limitation of Liability.
