Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party does not cure its material breach of this Agreement within 30 days (10 days for payment breaches) after receiving written notice of the material breach from the non-breaching party. A breach of this Agreement by any Subscriber or Authorized User will be treated as a breach by You (as well as a breach by them). Termination in accordance with this Subsection will take effect when the breaching party receives written notice of termination from the non-breaching party, which notice must not be delivered until the breaching party has failed to cure its material breach during the 30-day (10 days for payment breaches) cure period.

7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
7.1 Definition. "Confidential Information" means non-public business information, know- how, and trade secrets in any form, including information regarding product plans, Beta Versions, terms of this Agreement, and any other information a person would reasonably understand to be confidential, which is disclosed by or on behalf of either party or its Affiliates to the other party or its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by inspection of tangible objects, and whether such information is disclosed before or after the Effective Date specified on the Order Form. Confidential Information includes this Agreement and its terms. "Confidential Information" excludes information that the receiving party can demonstrate (a) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing party through no action or inaction of the receiving party; (b) was already in the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party, as shown by the receiving party’s files and records contemporaneous with such receipt; (c) was obtained by the receiving party from a third party without a breach of the third party’s obligations of confidentiality; or (d) was independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, as shown by documents and other competent evidence in the receiving party’s possession.
7.2 Maintenance of Confidentiality. The party receiving the other party’s Confidential Information hereunder (the “receiving party”) shall not use the disclosing party’s Confidential Information in any manner other than as necessary to perform its contractual and legal obligations to the disclosing party, and shall take reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to protect its own proprietary information, but not less than reasonable care, to prevent the unauthorized duplication or disclosure of the Confidential Information to, or use by, third parties without the disclosing party’s prior written consent. The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to the receiving party’s employees or agents who reasonably need to have access to such information to perform the receiving party’s obligations under this Agreement, and who will treat such Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement (with the receiving party being responsible for compliance with this Agreement by such employees and agents). Provided that such Permitted Third Party is bound by obligations of confidentiality and nonuse no less restrictive than the terms of this Agreement, you may disclose our Confidential Information to a Permitted Third Party solely to the extent required for such Permitted Third Party to be able to access and use the Service pursuant to this Agreement (with the receiving party being responsible for compliance with this Agreement by such Permitted Third Party). Also, We may disclose this Agreement to actual and potential investors and funding sources and their representatives, in each case who agree to hold it in confidence. The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information if required by law so long as the receiving party gives the disclosing party written notice of the requirement prior to the disclosure (where permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the disclosing party’s expense, in limiting disclosure or obtaining an order protecting the information from public disclosure. After such legally required disclosure, such information shall again become Confidential Information of the disclosing party under this Agreement.
7.3 Return of Materials and Effect of Termination. Upon written request of the disclosing party, or in any event upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, the receiving party will return promptly to the disclosing party or destroy, at the request of the disclosing party, all materials, in any medium, to the extent containing or reflecting any of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. Following expiration or termination of this Agreement, We may purge Your Subscriber Data and your Service environment from Our systems. The obligations in this Section 7 survive for three years following expiration or termination of this Agreement, except that Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret of the disclosing party will continue to be subject to the terms of this Section 7 for as long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law, and this Section 7 shall not affect the treatment of such Confidential Treatment under applicable law.
