Company shall bear the full cost of all audits, provided, if an audit reveals that Fees or Overages have been underpaid or the License Scope has been exceeded by at least five percent (5%), Publisher shall, in addition to payment of any underpaid Fees and Overages and any other remedies due under these Terms of Service, reimburse Company for its professional fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conducting such audit.
Confidential Information
Publisher acknowledges that it may have access to certain confidential information of the Company, such as information concerning its business, plans, customers, technology and products (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information will include all information in tangible or intangible form that is marked or designated as confidential or that, under the circumstances of its disclosure, should reasonably be considered confidential. “Confidential Information” shall not include (a) information that becomes known to the general public without breach of the nondisclosure obligations of these Terms of Service; (b) information that is already known to Publisher at the time that it is disclosed to the receiving party; (c) information that is obtained from a third party without breach of a nondisclosure obligation and without restriction on disclosure; and (d) information that has been independently developed by Publisher without reference to any of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.
Publisher agrees that it will not use Confidential Information in any way for its own account or the account of any third party, except as expressly permitted by, or required to achieve the purposes of, these Terms of Service, nor will it disclose to any third party (except as required by law or its attorneys, accountants and other advisors as reasonably necessary) any of the Confidential Information and it will take reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of such information, at least as stringent as it takes to protect its own Confidential Information. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms of Service for any reason, Publisher will return or destroy, at the Company’s request, all Confidential Information and all documents or media containing any such Confidential Information and any and all copies or extracts thereof.
