7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

a) Confidentiality. Opticon and you agree that, in the course of dealings between the parties, each party may acquire information or materials about the other party, its business activities and operations, its technical information and trade secrets, which are of a confidential or proprietary nature (“Confidential Information”). Without limitation, information will be treated as Confidential Information (i) if it is marked or accompanied by documents clearly and conspicuously designating them as “confidential” or the equivalent; or before, during or promptly after the presentation of communication. Upon request by you, Opticon shall advise you whether or not it considers any particular information or materials to be Confidential Information. “Confidential Information“ does not include any information which: (i) was known to the receiving party before receipt from the disclosing party; (ii) is or becomes publicly available through no fault, act or omission of the receiving party; (iii) is rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; (iv) is disclosed by the disclosing party to a third party without a duty of confidentiality on the third party; or (v) is independently developed by the receiving party.
b) No Use or Disclosure. Each Party shall not disclose the others party’s Confidential Information to third parties, and shall not use Confidential Information except to exercise its rights and fulfill its duties under this Agreement. In addition, each party shall use the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, as the party uses with respect to its own similar information to protect the information and to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure. Without limiting the foregoing, neither party shall disclose Confidential Information of the other party to its employees who do not have a need to know that information. If a receiving party is required by a government body or court of law to disclose information, the receiving party agrees to give the disclosing party reasonable advance notice so that the disclosing party may contest the disclosure or seek a protective order. Each party agrees to use reasonable efforts to return to the other party, or to destroy (and to certify the destruction in writing to the other party), all materials containing any Confidential Information of the other party upon the request of the disclosing party. Confidential Information received under this Section need only be protected per this Section for five (5) years from first receipt thereof.
