ARTICLE 7 – Confidentiality

7.1 Confidential Information. The Licensee agrees that the Plugin, including pre-release software and/or hardware (as well as related documentation and materials) of any SBRE or its Licensor provided to the Licensee as a registered SBRE developer (“Pre-Release Materials”) and any information disclosed by SBRE to the Licensee will be considered and referred to as “Confidential Information”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidential Information will not include:

(i) information that is generally and legitimately available to the public through no fault or breach of the Licensee,

(ii) information that is generally made available to the public by SBRE or its Licensor,

(iii) information that is independently developed by the Licensee without the use of any Confidential Information of SBRE or its Licensor,

(iv) information that was rightfully obtained from a third party who had the right to transfer or disclose it to the Licensee without limitation, or

(v) any third party software and/or documentation provided to the Licensee by SBRE or its Licensor and accompanied by licensing terms that do not impose confidentiality obligations on the use or disclosure of such software and/or documentation.

7.2 Nondisclosure and Nonuse of the Confidential Information.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed or permitted in writing by SBRE or its Licensor, as appropriate, the Licensee agrees not to disclose, publish, or disseminate any Confidential Information to anyone other than to other registered SBRE developers who are employees, contractors, and/or other representatives working for the same entity as the Licensee and then only to the extent that SBRE or its Licensor does not otherwise prohibit such disclosure. The Licensee agrees not to use the Confidential Information in any way, including, without limitation, for the Licensee’s or any third party’s benefit without the prior written approval of an authorized representative of SBRE or its Licensor in each instance. The Licensee further agrees to take reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Confidential Information. The Licensee acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information could cause irreparable harm and significant injury to SBRE or its Licensor that may be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the Licensee agrees that SBRE or its Licensor will have the right to seek immediate injunctive relief to enforce obligations of the Licensee under this Agreement in addition to any other rights and remedies it or they may have. If the Licensee is required by law, regulation or pursuant to the valid binding order of a court of competent jurisdiction to disclose the Confidential Information, the Licensee may make such disclosure, but only if the Licensee has notified SBRE before making such disclosure (to the extent permitted under applicable law or regulation) and have used commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure and to seek confidential, protective treatment of such information. A disclosure pursuant to the previous sentence will not relieve the Licensee of his, her, or its obligations to hold such information as the Confidential Information.

7.3 Paid Content License and Restrictions.

As a registered SBRE developer, the Licensee may have access to certain proprietary content (including, without limitation, video presentations and audio recordings) that SBRE may make available to the Licensee from time to time for a separate fee (“Paid Content”). Paid Content shall be considered as Confidential Information, unless otherwise agreed or permitted in writing by SBRE. The Licensee may not share the Paid Content with anyone, including, without limitation, employees, contractors, or other representatives working for the same entity as the Licensee, regardless of whether they are registered SBRE developers. Subject to these terms and conditions, SBRE grants the Licensee a personal and nontransferable license to access and use the Paid Content for authorized purposes as a registered SBRE developer; provided that the Licensee may only download one (1) copy of the Paid Content and such download must be completed within the time period specified by SBRE for such download. Except as expressly permitted by SBRE, the Licensee shall not modify, translate, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works of the Paid Content or any part thereof. The Licensee shall not rent, lease, loan, sell, sublicense, assign or otherwise transfer any rights in the Paid Content. SBRE and/or its Licensor retains ownership of the Paid Content itself and any copies or portions thereof. The Paid Content is licensed, not sold, to the Licensee by SBRE for use only under this Agreement, and SBRE reserves all rights not expressly granted to the Licensee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Licensee’s rights under this Agreement to use and access the Paid Content will terminate automatically without notice from SBRE if the Licensee fails to comply with any of these confidentiality provisions.

 

ARTICLE 8 – COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The Licensee data will be processed and stored in the manner pursuant to SBRE’s Privacy Policy that is available for consultation on http://www.ald.softbankrobotics.com (or any other address that may be substituted for it).

However, the Licensee already acknowledges and agrees that the provision of the Plugin by SBRE may require SBRE to process or store the Licensee’s personal data and to transmit such data within SBRE, to SBRE affiliates and/or authorized third parties in order to permit network-enhanced services, improve the general quality and/or functionality of its products and/or Plugin, permit development of new version of its products and/or Plugin, fix bug, glitch, or defect, develop patch and other solution, permit to install new version, update or upgrade, monitor and/or permit the maintenance of SBRE products and/or Plugin.

The Licensee expressly consents that SBRE may generate statistical data from the information provided through the Plugin without identifying the Licensee.

Such processing, storage, transfer, access, and use may take place in any of the countries or regions in which SBRE and its affiliates conduct business, or where third party may reside, access, or have their server.

 

ARTICLE 9 - NO TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT

In no event shall the Licensee sublicense, assign or otherwise transfer all or part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without SBRE or its Licensor’s written consent. SBRE may transfer its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to a third party.

 

ARTICLE 10 – Independent Development

Nothing in this Agreement will impair any right of SBRE or any of its Licensor to develop, acquire, license, market, promote or distribute products, software or technologies that perform the same or similar functions as, or otherwise compete with, any other products, software or technologies that the Licensee may develop, produce, market, or distribute. In the absence of a separate written agreement to the contrary, SBRE or any of its Licensor will be free to use any information, suggestions or recommendations that the Licensee provides to SBRE pursuant to this Agreement for any purpose, subject to any applicable patents or copyrights.

 

ARTICLE 11 - U.S. Government End Users
