Leverage will, after sixty (60) days following termination of this Agreement, irretrievably delete Your Data.

6. NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

  • 6.1. During the Term and for a period of four (4) years after termination of the Agreement (except for trade secrets, which shall be held in confidence for so long as they constitute trade secrets, and confidentiality obligations as required by applicable law), each Party (the “Receiving Party”) that receives Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other Party (the "Disclosing Party") will not use, other than in connection with the provision or receipt of the Services, or disclose to anyone, other than officers, employees or representatives of the Receiving Party with a need to know for purposes of this Agreement and who are subject to confidentiality obligations no less stringent than the terms of this Agreement (“Representatives”), any Confidential Information disclosed to the Receiving Party by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party. For data processed by third-party AI services (e.g., OpenAI), Leverage ensures that no confidential customer data is retained or used for any purposes beyond the specific processing task. The AI provider is contractually bound to these terms to prevent unauthorized use or retention of confidential information. The Receiving Party will safeguard disclosure of such Confidential Information to the same extent that Receiving Party safeguards its own Confidential Information, but in any case will at a minimum use reasonable care. Upon request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party or destroy, certifying in writing to the Disclosing Party the destruction of such Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in its possession or under its control.

  • 6.3. These confidentiality obligations will not apply to any information which (i) is or becomes publicly known without any fault of or participation by the Receiving Party or its Representatives; (ii) was in Receiving Party's possession prior to the time it was received from Disclosing Party or came into Receiving Party's possession thereafter, in each case lawfully obtained from a source other than Disclosing Party or its Representatives and not subject to any obligation of confidentiality or restriction on use; (iii) is required to be disclosed by judicial, arbitral or governmental order or process or operation of law, in which event the Receiving Party will, unless prohibited by law, notify the Disclosing Party of the requirement of disclosure before making such disclosure and will comply with any protective order or other limitation on disclosure obtained by the Disclosing Party; or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.
  • 6.4. Any use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement may cause the Disclosing Party irreparable damage for which remedies other than injunctive relief may be inadequate, and both parties agree that the Disclosing Party may request injunctive or other equitable relief seeking to restrain such use or disclosure.
