WHEREAS, this Agreement is for preventing the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information (“Confidential Information”). The Parties agree as follows:

However, Confidential Information does not include information that is: a) generally available to the public, b) widely used practices and/or algorithms, c) rightfully in the possession of the Parties prior to signing this Agreement, and d) independently developed or created without the use of any of the provided Confidential Information.

This Section shall not apply to the 1st Party if this Agreement is Unilateral as marked in Section 2.
