Confidential Information of Fastcomcorp shall include product architecture, product research and development plans, non-public financial data and roadmaps, whether marked as confidential or not. A Recipient may use the Confidential Information that it receives from the Discloser solely for the purpose of performing activities contemplated under the Agreement. For a period of five (5) years following the applicable date of disclosure of any Confidential Information, a Recipient will not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party. A Recipient will protect it by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or publication as the Recipient uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature. The Recipient may disclose the Confidential Information to its affiliates, agents and subcontractors with a need to know in order to fulfill the purpose of the Agreement, under a nondisclosure agreement at least as protective of the Discloser’s rights as this Agreement.

8.3 The Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information as required by law or court order provided: (i) the Recipient promptly notifies the Discloser in writing of the requirement for disclosure, if legally permissible; and (ii) discloses only as much of the Confidential Information as is required.
8.4 Each party will retain all right, title and interest to such party’s Confidential Information. The parties acknowledge that a violation of the Recipient’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm to the Discloser for which a remedy at law would be inadequate. Therefore, in addition to any and all remedies available at law, Discloser will be entitled to seek an injunction or other equitable remedies in all legal proceedings in the event of any threatened or actual violation of any or all of the provisions. Subject to the terms of the Agreement: (i) Discloser may request the return of Confidential Information; (ii) or upon termination or completion of the Agreement or any Service(s), Recipient will either return (if technically feasible to do so) or destroy the Confidential Information and upon request of Discloser, will certify such destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided that such information is protected in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the Recipient may continue to maintain copies of Confidential Information: (a) that is included in its data backup, which will be destroyed in accordance with the Recipient’s data retention policies; or (b) as required to comply with applicable law, which will be destroyed when such obligation is met.
