Non-Disclosure and Non-Use of Confidential Information The Receiving Party shall use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only for the purpose of evaluating the Relationship and for the purposes of the ongoing Relationship, and shall protect such Confidential Information from disclosure to third parties, using the same degree of care used to protect its own proprietary information of like importance, but in any case using no less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party shall not make any copies of Confidential Information unless the same are previously approved of in writing by the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall reproduce the Disclosing Party’s proprietary rights notices on any such approved copies, in the same manner in which such notices were set forth in or on the original. The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its affiliates, employees and consultants (“Representatives”), in each case only if such Representatives have a need to know, and provided that such Representatives (i) use the Confidential Information for the purposes of the Relationship only, and (ii) are bound to protect the Confidential Information as required hereunder. The Receiving Party shall immediately notify the Disclosing Party in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party agrees not to reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile any prototypes, software or other tangible objects which embody the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and which are provided to the Receiving Party hereunder. The Parties shall each be responsible for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by them or their Representatives and agree, at their sole expense, to take all reasonable measures (including, but not limited to, court proceedings) to restrain their respective Representatives from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information.
Data Disclosure Under Minnesota Statute § 270C.65, Subdivision 3 and other applicable law, the Contractor consents to disclosure of its social security number, federal employer tax identification number, and/or Minnesota tax identification number, already provided to the State, to federal and state agencies and state personnel involved in the payment of state obligations. These identification numbers may be used in the enforcement of federal and state laws which could result in action requiring the Contractor to file state tax returns, pay delinquent state tax liabilities, if any, or pay other state liabilities.
