6.1 Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein, "Confidential Information" means all confidential and proprietary information of a party (the "Disclosing Party") disclosed to the other party (the "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, including the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Client Data, the Software, business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product designs, and business processes.

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 of like kind (but in no event using less than reasonable care).
6.3 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
6.4 Remedies. The Receiving Party agrees to notify the Disclosing Party immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. In the event of such unauthorized disclosure or if the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of confidentiality protections contained in this Agreement, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies may be inadequate.

7.2 Termination for Breach. Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies, either party may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice to the other party if: (a) the other party commits a material breach of any of its obligations under the Agreement and in the case of a remediable breach, fails to remedy it within seven (7) days of the date of receipt of notice of breach from the non-breaching party; (b) a force majeure event (as described in Section 14.1) continues for a minimum period of two months; or (c) either party becomes insolvent, goes into liquidation, appoints an administrative receiver or analogous proceedings under relevant local law.
