9. CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY.
9.1 Confidentiality. By virtue of this UULA, each party hereto may have access to
information that is confidential to the other party (Proprietary Information). Unless otherwise agreed

Information only to its employees or contractors who have a need to know and are bound by obligations
of confidentiality. The parties agree to hold each other’s Proprietary Information in confidence during
the term of this UULA and at all times after termination of this UULA. On the earlier termination of this

return or destroy all Proprietary Information disclosed by OmniTier. The parties agree, unless required
by law, not to make each other’s Proprietary Information available in any form to any third party for

OmniTier Unified User License Agreement Page 10 of 14 July 11th, 2024
prohibited by law or legal authority. Each party shall protect the Proprietary Information, using the
same degree of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but no less than a reasonable
degree of care. Each party shall use a similar degree of care to ensure that Proprietary Information is
not disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in violation of the terms of this UULA. The
parties’ obligations under this clause are perpetual and shall survive termination and neither party shall
be relieved of its obligations hereunder, unless the other party releases such obligations in writing.

information that:
(a) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission of the other
party;
(b) was in the other party's lawful possession prior to the disclosure and had not been
obtained by the other party either directly or indirectly from the disclosing party;
(c) is lawfully disclosed to the other party by a third party who has affirmatively
represented to the other party that it is without restriction on disclosure;
(d) is independently developed by the other party.
9.3 Security Measures. Customer acknowledges and agrees that maintaining the
confidentiality and secrecy of Trade Secrets are of the utmost importance to OmniTier and that any
disclosure of Trade Secrets may diminish the value and strength of the Trade Secrets. OmniTier and
Customer shall each take all steps, using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree
of care, as each party uses to protect its own confidential information, that are reasonably necessary
to protect the secrecy of the Trade Secrets and prevent them from entering the public domain or falling
into the hands of others not bound by this UULA or pledged to secrecy.

Customer will indemnify the OmniTier Indemnitees from and against all losses, damages, liability, costs
and expenses incurred by the OmniTier Indemnitees arising out of any breach by Customer.
(b) If Customer has paid for a license to access Licensed Materials, then OmniTier as
indemnitor will defend or settle, and hold harmless Customer, its directors, officers, employees and
representatives (“Customer Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liability,
costs and expenses awarded by a court or agreed upon in settlement, to the extent based on any

is reasonably available, cease providing the Licensed Materials and refund to Customer all paid and
unused amounts on a pro-rata basis for any unused term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OmniTier shall
