For the avoidance of doubt, the NoVPS.io Services and Documentation, and all enhancements and improvements thereto will be considered Confidential Information of NoVPS.io.

The Receiving Party will not use or disclose any Confidential Information except as expressly authorized by this Agreement and will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care that it uses with respect to its own confidential information, but in no event with safeguards less than a reasonably prudent business would exercise under similar circumstances. The Receiving Party will take prompt and appropriate action to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Except as subject to applicable law, if any Confidential Information must be disclosed to any third party by reason of legal, accounting or regulatory requirements, the Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the order or request and permit the Disclosing Party (at its own expense) to seek an appropriate protective order. Customer acknowledges that NoVPS.io can collect usage and performance data related to its provision of the NoVPS.io Services and obtain from third parties Customer’s usage data of third-party products and services purchased or acquired through NoVPS.io (collectively, “Usage Data”). NoVPS.io may use Usage Data to provide and improve its products and services, to market additional products and services to Customer, and disclose Usage Data in an aggregated and de-identified manner in connection with its business. As between the parties, NoVPS.io owns all rights in the Usage Data. The parties agree they can have competing products and services if these are not developed with or use the other party’s Confidential Information.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Customer will defend at its expense any suit brought against NoVPS.io, and will pay any settlement Customer makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim arising out of or relating to (a) any use of the NoVPS.io Services not in accordance with this Agreement or as specified in the Documentation; (b) any use of the NoVPS.io Services in combination with other products, equipment, software or data not supplied by NoVPS.io; (c) any modification of the NoVPS.io Services by any person other than NoVPS.io or its authorized agents; or (d) Customer’s breach or alleged breach of Section 4.1 (Customer Warranty).
