7 Confidentiality.
7.1 Obligation of Confidentiality. Pursuant to this Agreement, each party may, from time to time, furnish the other party to this Agreement with certain Confidential Information. Recipient will use the same care to avoid disclosure of such Confidential Information as it uses with its own similar confidential information which it does not wish to disclose, but such standard of care shall not be less than a reasonable standard of care. Recipient shall not disclose the Confidential Information, including any trade secret, confidential or proprietary information contained within the Confidential Information, to any persons other than its directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, professional advisors or other representatives who have a need to know the Confidential Information, who have been instructed that it is Confidential Information, and who are under an obligation of confidentiality substantially similar to the terms of this section p rior to such disclosure. The disclosure of Discloser's Confidential Information does not grant to the Recipient any license or rights to any trade secrets, or under any patents or copyrights, except as expressly provided by the licenses granted in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Confidential Information is provided by the Discloser on an "as is" basis. The obligations of Recipient with respect to any particular portion of Confidential Information shall terminate (or shall not attach) in any of the following cases:
7.1.1 the Confidential Information was in the public domain at the time of Discloser's communication to Recipient;
7.1.2 the Confidential Information entered the public domain through no fault of Recipient subsequent to the time of Discloser's communication to Recipient;
7.1.3 the Confidential Information was in Recipient's possession free of any obligation of confidence at the time of Discloser's communication to Recipient;
7.1.4 the Confidential Information was independently developed by Recipient; or
7.1.5 the Confidential Information's disclosure is required by law, valid subpoena, or court or government order, provided, however, that Recipient provides prompt notice of such required disclosure and Recipient shall have made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance affording it confidential treatment and limiting its use solely for the purpose for which the law or order requires. Discloser understands that Recipient may develop information internally, or receive information from other parties, that may be similar to Discloser's information. Accordingly, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a representation or inference that Recipient will not independently develop products, for itself or for others, that compete with the products or systems contemplated by Discloser's information.
7.2 Injunction. The parties agree that a breach of the confidentiality obligations by Recipient shall cause immediate and irreparable monetary damage to Discloser and shall entitle Discloser to make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies available at law.
