All such information shall, as between Company and Customer, belong exclusively to Company and be considered the confidential, proprietary and trade secret information of Company (collectively, “Proprietary Information”). Each of the parties also acknowledges that prior to or during the performance of this Agreement, they may share or have access to other types of Proprietary Information of the other party, including, without limitation, technologies, research and development, marketing and other business plans, the terms of this Agreement, Software and Services pricing, business information, data, trade secrets, and systems. (The party disclosing Proprietary Information shall be referred to herein as the “Discloser” and the party receiving Proprietary Information shall be referred to herein as the “Recipient.”)

22.2. Strict Confidence. Recipient covenants that it shall maintain all Proprietary Information of Discloser in strict confidence, shall not disclose any such Proprietary Information to any third party, and shall protect all such Proprietary Information with not less than the same degree of care as Recipient normally uses in the protection of Recipient’s own confidential or proprietary information, but at least with reasonable care. Recipient shall use Discloser’s Proprietary Information only for the purpose of carrying out Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement. To the extent necessary for Recipient to carry out Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement, Recipient shall be permitted to disclose Discloser’s Proprietary Information to those of Recipient’s officers, directors, managers, employees, consultants, and other professional advisors who are subject to an ongoing legal obligation to Recipient to maintain all Confidential Information on terms at least as restrictive as those contained in this Agreement.

22.4. Equitable Relief. Customer acknowledges and agrees that, due to the unique nature of Company’s Licensed Software and all Proprietary Information related thereto, there can be no adequate remedy at law to compensate Company for the breach of any provision of this Section 22 (Protection of Proprietary Information); that any such breach would allow Customer or third parties to compete unfairly with Company resulting in irreparable harm to Company that would be difficult to measure; and, therefore, that upon any such breach or threat thereof, Company shall be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief (without the necessity of proving actual damages), in addition to all additional remedies it may have at law or in equity.

24.2. Other Rights Following Termination. Termination of this Agreement by either party for any reason shall not act as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement and shall not act as a release of either party from any liability for breach of such party’s obligations under this Agreement. Neither party shall be liable to the other for damages of any kind arising solely as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms, and termination of this Agreement by a party shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of such party under this Agreement or applicable law.

The Company uses several factors when making pricing tier assessments, including: (i) number and types of contracts processed within the Licensed Software, (ii) regulatory burden(s) imposed by such contracts; (iii) ceiling/funded values of such contracts, (iv) size and complexity of the Customer’s organization; (v) number and type(s) of Licensed Software users and (vi) file storage requirements for Customer’s content and records. If at any point during a License Period Company determines, based on these or other, similar factors, that Customer has not been, or is no longer priced within the appropriate pricing tier, Company shall have the right to notify Customer that pricing for the Licensed Software during the next Renewal Term shall reflect the more accurate pricing tier. Should this occur, Company shall notify Customer at least 90 days in advance of the upcoming Renewal Term.
