This Agreement covers any Software and Documentation (as defined below). The Agreement consists of the terms and conditions set forth below.

This Agreement permits Customer directly, and/or through its procurement agent (“Procurement Agent”), to download and install up to 25 Agents of CFEngine 3 Enterprise software (“Software”) for no charge (for free) and sets forth the basic terms and conditions under which those products and services will be delivered to Customer.

8. Confidential Information.

Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains (“Receiving Party”) from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Any software, documentation or technical information provided by NT (or its agents), performance information relating to the Software, and the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of NT without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer shall ensure that its Procurement Agent is subject to written confidentiality terms that are no less protective of NT than the terms of this Agreement. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (a) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (b) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (c) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; (d) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information; or (e) is required to be disclosed pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law. For clarity, the above confidentiality restrictions do not apply to Customer’s use of Work Product.

9. Customer Acknowledgement.

Customer agrees that NT may publicly disclose Customer as a customer of NT.
