Confidentiality

"Confidential Information" means nonpublic information in any form disclosed by us that is designated as confidential or that, given the nature of the information or circumstances surrounding its disclosure, should be reasonably understood to be confidential. ALL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE IS CONSIDERED CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY NETWORK- OR 5G EDGE-RELATED PERFORMANCE DATA OR METRICS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE TOOLS.

Confidential Information does not include any information that: (i) is or becomes publicly available without breach of these Terms; (ii) can be shown by documentation to have been known to you at the time of your receipt from us; (iii) was disclosed to you by a third party who did not acquire or disclose the information by a wrongful or tortious act; or (iv) can be shown by documentation to have been independently developed by the receiving party without reference to our Confidential Information.

You agree that you will use the Confidential Information only in accordance with these Terms and will not disclose such information to any third party without our prior written consent. You will take all reasonable measures to avoid disclosure, dissemination or unauthorized use of Confidential Information, including, at a minimum, those measures taken to protect your own confidential information of a similar nature. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may disclose Confidential Information your employees, contractors or agents who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such information confidential.

Either upon our request or when you no longer have a need to use Confidential Information provided through the Service, whichever occurs first, you agree to delete or otherwise destroy such Confidential Information in your possession and, upon our request, provide a written certification of such deletion or destruction.

If you are required by law, regulation or court order to disclose Confidential Information, you will (except as prohibited by law, regulation or court order) promptly notify us in writing prior to making any such disclosure in order to facilitate us seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy from the proper authority. You agree to cooperate with us in seeking such order or other remedy. You further agree that if we are not successful in precluding the requesting legal body from requiring the disclosure of Confidential Information, you will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which you are legally required to disclose.

You acknowledge that a breach of this Confidentiality section may result in irreparable injury for which monetary damages alone may not be an adequate remedy. You therefore agree that in the event of an actual or threatened breach of this section, we will be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or anticipated breach without the necessity of posting a bond. Any such relief will be in addition to and not in lieu of any appropriate relief in the way of monetary damages.
