CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

If any undisputed invoiced amount is not received by MolDev by the due date, then without limiting its rights or remedies, MolDev may: (a) invoice Customer for the late payment interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower; and (b) upon written notice, suspend Customer’s access to the Services until payment is received in full.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
1. MolDev Rights in the Services.

CONFIDENTIALITY
1. Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a Party or its Affiliates (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information does not include any information that: (a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (c) is received from a third party without restriction and without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
2. Protection of Confidentiality. Each Party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other Party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information, using at least reasonable care. The Receiving Party shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, except with the Disclosing Party’s prior written permission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall have the right to disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to such of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, accountants, financial advisors and legal counsel having a need to know the Confidential Information (each a “Representative”) for the purpose of this Agreement, provided that, prior to any such disclosure to a Representative, the Representative has agreed in writing to be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use on terms at least as restrictive as the terms contained herein. In addition, each Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its Representatives.
3. Legally Required Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law, regulation, regulatory authority, or order of a governmental agency, or court of competent jurisdiction to do so, and as required for the purposes of regulatory filings, prosecuting or defending litigation, or complying with applicable law (including regulations promulgated by securities exchanges), provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior written notice of such disclosure (to the extent legally permitted).
4. Injunctive Relief. Each party agrees that any actual or threatened disclosure or misappropriation of Confidential Information would constitute immediate, irreparable harm to the other party for which monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to the parties at law or in equity, each party may seek injunctive relief for any such actual or threatened disclosure without the posting of a bond.
5. Survival. The obligations set forth in this Section 8 shall survive until five (5) years from the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
