The Receiver will use the same degree of care to protect the Discloser’s Confidential Information that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care). The Receiver may use Confidential Information of the Discloser only to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under these Terms. Except as expressly authorized by the Discloser in writing, the Receiver will limit access to Confidential Information of the Discloser to those of its and its affiliates’ employees, contractors or agents who need such access to perform obligations under these Terms and who are bound to terms as least as restrictive as those in these Terms. Neither party will disclose the terms of these Terms to any third party (other than its affiliates, legal counsel or accountants) without the other party’s prior written consent.
c. Compelled Disclosure. The Receiver may disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiver gives the Discloser prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Discloser’s cost, if the Discloser wishes to contest the disclosure.
