(b) to ensure that a standard of strict confidentiality is applied by those persons who receive Confidential Information pursuant to clause (a) above so as to prevent breach of the obligations provided herein.

(a) a Party can demonstrate by prior existing records of such Party, was within that Party’s legitimate possession prior to the time of disclosure;

(a) return to the disclosing Party all Confidential Information supplied which the receiving Party has in his possession or under his control;

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring any rights by license or otherwise in any Confidential Information.
At no time and under no circumstances shall receiving Party reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the disclosing Party’s software or Confidential Information or attempt to use disclosing the Party’s software in any form other than machine readable object code.
