Data, Screenshots, exposure, counterparty and other attribution or clustering information, transaction details (such list, collectively, the “Proprietary Data”), training materials, the access codes, API keys, technical specifications, connectivity standards or protocols, or other relevant procedures used by Licensee to connect to the Services).
(b) Ownership. In connection with the performance of this Agreement, each party (the “Receiving Party”) may have access to certain of the other party’s (the “Disclosing Party”) Confidential Information or that of third parties that the Disclosing Party is required to maintain as confidential. No ownership in or rights to Confidential Information is transferred as a result of such access.
(c) Obligations. The Receiving Party will: (i) only use Confidential Information as necessary or permitted under this Agreement; (ii) only provide access to Confidential Information on an “as-needed” basis to its Affiliates, Authorized Users, personnel, agents, attorneys, investors, bankers, accountants, contractors, professional advisors and/or consultants (“Representatives”) who are bound by obligations materially similar to this Section 7; and (iii) maintain Confidential Information using methods at least as protective as it uses to protect its own information of a similar nature, but in no event using less than a reasonable degree of care. Following termination or expiration of this Agreement and upon written request from the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly return or destroy the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Nothing herein will require the destruction or return of Confidential Information permitted to be maintained under this Agreement or maintained on routine computer backup systems solely for archival purposes, provided that, Confidential Information maintained for archival purposes will not be readily accessible. Notwithstanding any expiration or termination of this Agreement (or any provision hereunder), for so long as any Confidential Information is retained, it shall remain subject to this Section 7.
(d) The obligations in Section 7(c) will apply during and for two (2) years after the Term, except in the case of Confidential Information that is a trade secret, in which case the obligations will remain in effect for so long as the information is a trade secret.
(e) Exceptions. Confidential Information does not include, and Section 7(c) does not apply to information that is: (i) publicly available when disclosed or becomes publicly available without fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) rightfully communicated to the Receiving Party by a third party not bound to keep such information confidential, whether prior to or following disclosure, (iii) independently developed by Receiving Party without reference to or reliance on Confidential Information; or (iv) approved in writing for disclosure by the Disclosing Party who may impose reasonable conditions on such disclosure; provided, however, the foregoing exceptions shall not apply to Proprietary Data, which Licensee shall keep confidential at all times. In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required to comply with regulatory authority requests, a subpoena, civil investigative order, the order of a court or other governmental body, or with applicable law, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the Receiving Party first gives written notice to the Disclosing Party and reasonably cooperates with any Disclosing Party’s efforts to obtain a protective order (at the Disclosing Party’s request and expense). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, in the event Licensee reasonably determines that the disclosure of Confidential Information is material and necessary to the disposition of a legal, regulatory, arbitration or administrative proceeding, to which it is a party (each, a “Court Disclosure”), Licensee may disclose the relevant portions of such Confidential Information in a Court Disclosure, provided that prior to
disclosure Licensee shall to the extent permitted by law: (i) provide written notice to Chainalysis with sufficient time for Chainalysis to review the intended Court Disclosure and if deemed necessary in Chainalysis’ sole discretion, assist Licensee with respect to same; and (ii) obtain prior written consent from Chainalysis. For the avoidance of doubt, Chainalysis is under no obligation to review or assist in connection with any Court Disclosure.
