b. Assignment.

EB may assign this Agreement or delegate its responsibilities without restriction.

Any assignment or assumption in violation of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

c. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement is the entire agreement between EB and CUSTOMER with respect to the SOFTWARE (including the underlying PORTAL, SYSTEM, and informational material), and supersedes any and all prior agreements, negotiations, or other communications between EB and CUSTOMER, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then: (a) such provision shall be deemed to be reformed to the extent strictly necessary to render such provision valid and enforceable, or if not capable of such reformation shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement; and (b) the validity and enforceability of all of the other provisions hereof, shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby. EB’s failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right, power, or remedy provided in this Agreement or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that right, power, or remedy. EB’s waiver of any obligation or breach of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other obligation or subsequent breach of the Agreement. The English language version of this Agreement shall be the official and controlling version, and any translation provided is solely for convenience.

 

23. Confidentiality.

Each party hereto acknowledges that by reason of its relationship with the other party hereunder, it may have access to confidential information and materials concerning the other party’s business, technology, and/or products that is confidential to the other party (“Confidential Information”). Each party’s Confidential Information is of substantial value to the party, which value could be impaired if such information was disclosed to third parties or used in violation of this Agreement. Written or other tangible Confidential Information must at the time of disclosure be identified and labeled as Confidential Information belonging to the disclosing party. When disclosed orally or visually, Confidential Information must be identified as confidential at the time of the disclosure, with subsequent confirmation in writing within fifteen (15) days after disclosure. Each party agrees that it will not use in any way for its own account or the account of any third party, such Confidential Information, except as authorized under this Agreement, and will protect Confidential Information at least to the same extent as it protects its own Confidential Information and to the same extent that a reasonable person would protect such Confidential Information. Neither party may use the other party’s Confidential Information except to perform its duties or exercise its rights under this Agreement. The Confidential Information restrictions will not apply to Confidential Information that is (i) already known to the receiving party at the time of access hereunder, (ii) becomes publicly available through no wrongful act of the receiving party, (iii) independently developed by the receiving party without benefit of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, (iv) has been rightfully received from a third party not under obligation of confidentiality or (v) is required to be disclosed by law, provided the party compelled to disclose the Confidential Information provides the party owning the Confidential Information with prior written notice of disclosure adequate for the owning party to take reasonable action to prevent such disclosure, where reasonably possible. Unless otherwise agreed to by both parties, upon termination of this Agreement or an applicable Addendum, each party will return the other party’s Confidential Information.
