“Confidential Information” means any and all information of a party (the “Disclosing Party”) which has or will come into the possession of the other party (the “Receiving Party”) concerning the business, properties, affairs or finances of the Disclosing Party, including proprietary information and trade secrets. Confidential Information must be indicated as confidential information, or it must be clear at the time of the disclosure that the information ought to be handled as Confidential Information.

Confidential information shall not include information which the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (i) is readily available to the public in the same form through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) did not originate from the Disclosing Party and was lawfully obtained by the Receiving Party in the same form from an independent third party without any restrictions on disclosure, or (iii) did not originate from the Disclosing Party and was in the possession of the Receiving Party in the same form prior to disclosure to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party.

The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential information is proprietary information of the Disclosing Party, and may constitute Intellectual Property of the Disclosing Party, whether or not any portion thereof is or may be validly copyrighted or patented. The Receiving Party shall only use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for the purposes set forth in these Terms of Services and shall protect such Confidential Information with at lest the same degree of care and confidentiality, but not less than a reasonable standard of care and confidentiality, which the Receiving Party utilizes for its own confidential information.

The Receiving Party shall take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party is not made available or disclosed by it or by any of its Representatives to any third person except (i) as required by applicable Law, including a valid court order; (ii) with the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party or (iii) as authorized or reasonable inferred from these Terms of Services, such as for making and accepting payments on your behalf in the context of the Services. The Receiving Party will use due diligence to ensure that its representatives are subject to the same obligations of confidentiality as it does.

The Receiving Party shall not make copies or reproductions of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (in any medium) except as required for the purpose of these Terms of Services (including for backups and business continuity purposes).

If you are unsure if a Transaction is erroneous or suspicious, you agree to research the Transaction and, if necessary, contact your client before fulfilling or completing the Transaction.
