18. Confidentiality
a)
Definition of Confidential Information." Confidential Information" means all information
disclosed by a party (" Disclosing Party") to the other party
(" Receiving Party"), whether orally or in writing, that is
designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be
confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of
disclosure. Confidential Information of iCollab includes the Services and
Content, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and all orders placed
under this Agreement (including pricing), any software or documentation related
to the Services, iCollab samples and templates, trade secrets, technical
know-how, inventions, materials, product development plans, marketing plans,
customer lists and email addresses, the know-how, proprietary strategy on
communications, reports, and findings. Confidential Information of each party
includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information,
product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party.
However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is
or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed
to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its
disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the
Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any
obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by
the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations
set forth in this "Confidentiality" section apply to Confidential
Information exchanged between the parties under this Agreement and in
connection with the evaluation of additional iCollab services.
b)
Protection of Confidential Information. As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights
in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same
degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own
confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i)
not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose
outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by
the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of
the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates' employees and
contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement
and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party
containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential
Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this
Agreement or any order placed under this Agreement to any third party other
than its Affiliates, legal counsels and accountants without the other party's
prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to
its Affiliate, legal counsels or accountants will remain responsible for such
Affiliate's, legal counsel's or accountant's compliance with this
"Confidentiality" section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, iCollab may
disclose:
1.
the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a
subcontractor or Non-iCollab Application Provider to the extent necessary to
perform iCollab's obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality
materially as protective as set forth herein; and
2.
Information in accordance with the Section on "License by
Customer" above.
c)
Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the
Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, including but not
limited to obligations under a local, state or federal law, provided that the
Receiving Party gives: (a) prior notice of the compelled disclosure to the
Disclosing Party (to the extent legally permitted); and (b) reasonable
assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to
contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose
the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding
to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not
contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving
Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that
Confidential Information.

Accounts

of Data. In case of a paid subscription, the

made out and not the account holder.
- Disputes
Regarding Ownership of Account. In case of dispute about
ownership of the account, Customer must provide a government registered
document or government registered document number (as requested by
iCollab) with the name of the company/organisation and address to prove
the ownership/control of the company/organisation to iCollab's
satisfaction. iCollab reserves the right to ask for a court order, and/or
additional documentation and/or proof of ownership or control over the
company/organisation. In case there is no government authorized
registration of the company/organisation, then iCollab will not transfer
the account to any other party, and the account will remain in the
possession of the person that has valid credentials to access such an account. If there is a
government website that shows the official address and registered owners
of the company/organisation and if the registered owner does not have
access to the account, then iCollab will block access to the existing
users and re-issue password to one user that will be sent to the
registered address via post/courier.

government or law enforcement order, we will keep the account frozen until
relevant directions are received from a court, government or law

Dispute. In order to avoid loss or deletion
of such disputed data, iCollab requests the parties to a dispute to
amicably decide, at the beginning of the dispute, which party shall be
responsible to pay for the disputed data and account until such a dispute
is resolved. iCollab reserves the right to undertake any action permitted
under these Terms, including termination of any subscription, account or
this entire Agreement, for non-receipt of any subscription fee in time. iCollab

following termination of any subscription, account or this Agreement by
