8.10 Both Codat and the Client will each hold in confidence, shall use only for the purposes set out in this Agreement and shall not (other than as may be required by law or in accordance with the order of any competent court or tribunal or recognised listing authority) disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the other.

8.11. Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement, each party may have access to the other party’s Confidential Information. Confidential Information will remain the property of the furnishing party, and the receiving party will not be deemed by virtue of this Agreement or any access to the furnishing party’s Confidential Information to have acquired any right or interest therein. Confidential Information of Codat includes this Agreement, the Platform, the format, structure and presentation of Company Data on the Platform except as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.  As between, Codat and Client, Confidential Information of Client includes Company Data.

The Confidential Information shall only be used by the receiving party in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Access to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information shall be limited to the receiving party’s personnel on a “need to know” basis under this Agreement or, with respect to Codat, for the provision of the Platform, and the receiving party shall require its personnel to adhere to these confidentiality obligations. Each party agrees to protect 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 shall either party exercise less than reasonable care in protecting such Confidential Information.

8.11.4. Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other party may result in the event that the confidentiality obligations contained in this Section are violated and that the remedy at law for the breach of such obligations may be inadequate. Therefore, if either party engages in any act in violation of the provisions of this Section, the other party shall be entitled, in addition to such other remedies and damages as may be available to it by law or under this Agreement, to seek injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Section. Such relief or measures will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the disclosing party.
