Section 4. Confidentiality
4.1 Definition. “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by Trimble to you, either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible objects (including without limitation documents, prototypes, samples, plant and equipment), which is designated as “Confidential,” “Proprietary” or some similar designation, or is disclosed under circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to understand that such information is intended to be confidential. Information communicated orally will be considered Confidential Information if such information is confirmed in writing as being Confidential Information within a reasonable time after the initial disclosure. Confidential Information may also include information disclosed to Trimble by third parties. Confidential Information will not, however, include any information which (i) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by Trimble; (ii) becomes publicly known and made generally available after disclosure by Trimble to you through no action or inaction of you; (iii) is already in your possession at the time of disclosure by Trimble as shown by your files and records immediately prior to the time of disclosure;
(iv) is obtained by you from a third party without a breach of your obligations of confidentiality; or (v) is independently developed by you without use of or reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as shown by documents and other competent evidence in the receiving Party’s possession. Confidential Information of Trimble will include, without limitation, the SDK and any sample code included with the Documentation, regardless of whether it is identified as confidential.
4.2 Non-Use and Non-Disclosure. You will not use any Confidential Information for any purpose except to exercise your rights and perform your obligations under this Agreement. You will not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties or to your employees, except to those your employees with a need to know.
4.3 Maintenance of Confidentiality. You will take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information. Without limiting the foregoing, you will take at least those measures that you take to protect your own most highly confidential information and will ensure that your employees who have access to Confidential Information have signed a non-use and non-disclosure agreement in content similar to the provisions hereof, prior to any disclosure of Confidential Information to such employees. You will not make any copies of the Confidential Information unless the same are previously approved in writing by Trimble. You will reproduce the other 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.
4.4 Disclosure Required by Law. If you become legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or applicable securities laws) to disclose any Confidential Information, then you will provide Trimble with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that Trimble may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if Trimble waives in writing compliance with the terms hereof, then you will furnish only that portion of the information you are advised by counsel is legally required; and you will use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of such information.
4.5 Return of Materials. Upon the termination of this Agreement, you will deliver to Trimble all Confidential Information that you may have in your possession or control.
