3 Types of Adaptavist Products
This Agreement governs Adaptavist's commercially available and in some cases downloadable software products and services ("Software") as well as cloud-based products and services ("Hosted Services"), and any related support or maintenance services provided by Adaptavist.
Software and Hosted Services (as further described below) are referred together as "Products".
Please note: elements of Software may be available via Hosted Services and vice versa. In such cases, all relevant terms in this Agreement still govern such elements.
3.1 Software
Software includes products which may be downloaded in their entirety, or have downloadable software components or applications. Software also includes computer software and source code, as well as associated media, icons, images, text files, PDFs or other static non-code assets contained within any form of software, printed materials, and online and electronic documentation and internet-based services.
In the Atlassian context, Software includes (without limitation) categories of Adaptavist products (including add-ons) for Atlassian's Server (with a perpetual licence) and Data Center (under a subscription licence) applications.

Hosted Services includes products and services which are commercially available via a cloud-based platform (or SaaS mechanism). Within the Atlassian context, this includes Cloud variants of Adaptavist products available via Atlassian Cloud platforms. Furthermore, this includes, for example, Adaptavist's ScriptRunner Connect service and Venue.sh, available as a SaaS. This also includes Slack and Trello apps, which are made available via cloud-based SaaS platforms provided by those vendors.

- an account of other third-party providers
Any registration information that you provide to us or a third party must be accurate, current and complete. You must also update your information so that we may send notices, statements and other information to you by email or through your account. You are responsible for all actions taken through your accounts and to review and agree with the applicable third party terms.
6 Authorised Users, Integrated Partners’ EULAs, and Third Party Services Terms
Unless agreed otherwise in writing with us, only the specific individuals for whom you have paid the required fees and whom you designate through the applicable Product ("Authorised Users") may access and use the Products. Authorised Users may be you or your Affiliates' employees, representatives, consultants, contractors, agents, or other third parties who are acting for your benefit or on your behalf. Some Software may allow you to designate different types of Authorised Users, in which case pricing and functionality may vary according to the type of Authorised User. You may increase the number of Authorised Users permitted to access your instance of the Product by placing a new Order or, in some cases, directly through the Product. In all cases, you must pay the applicable fee for the increased number of Authorised Users. You are responsible for compliance with this Agreement by all Authorised Users. All use of Products by you and your Authorised Users must be within the scope of use and solely for the benefit of you or your Affiliates.
6.1 Integrated Partner terms
Please note: certain Products may be add-on products or products otherwise deeply integrated with third party applications and platforms ("Integrated Partners"). Examples of such Integrated Partners include Atlassian, Trello, Monday.com or Slack. For such Products, the number, rights, and scope of Authorised Users cannot exceed or conflict with those which are described in the Integrated Partners' EULA or any other applicable Integrated Partners' terms and conditions associated with the Integrated Partners' applications. The terms of this Agreement shall be limited, mutatis mutandis, to ensure harmony with the Integrated Partners' EULA or terms and conditions.
ScriptRunner Connect provides support for you to connect with Integrated Partners' APIs. As a condition of your use of ScriptRunner Connect, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to the terms and conditions of such Integrated Partners (including, without limitation, EULAs and API and Developer terms), which can be found at https://docs.adaptavist.com/src/latest/connectors.
6.2 Third Party services terms
Products may have features and functionality which integrate with and use products and services provided by third party services providers; these are identified in our Privacy Policy and our DPA. The terms of this Agreement shall be limited, mutatis mutandis, for alignment with such third party services providers' EULA or terms and conditions.
Some of our Products, such as ScriptRunner Connect and Venue.sh, provide support for you to connect with third party services or APIs. As a condition of your use of our Products, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to the terms and conditions of such third parties (including without limitation, EULAs and API and Developer terms). It is your responsibility to locate such third party terms and to check for any updates thereto from time to time. Nothing herein amends your rights under such third party terms. Adaptavist accepts no liability or responsibility for your use of third party services or APIs.
7 Software Terms
The following terms, unless otherwise stated, apply to Software (and not Hosting Services).
7.1 Your Licence Rights
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Adaptavist grants you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable licence to install and use the Software during the applicable Licence Term in accordance with this Agreement.
The term of each Software licence ("Licence Term") will be specified in your Order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Order:
- Your Licence Term will end upon any termination of this Agreement, even if it is identified as "perpetual" or if no expiration date is specified in your Order.
- If not otherwise stated in the Order, the Licence Term will be 12 months upon your receiving licence keys, gaining access, or otherwise being provided the ability to install the Software.
7.2 Number of Instances
Unless otherwise specified in your Order, for each Software licence that you purchase, you may install one production instance of the Software on systems owned or operated by you (or your third party service providers so long as you remain responsible for their compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement).
7.3 Attribution
In any use of the Software, where such attribution is provided as part of the product, you must include the following attribution to Adaptavist on all user interfaces in the following format: "Powered by Adaptavist", which must in every case include a hyperlink to http://www.adaptavist.com, and which must be in the same format as delivered in the Software.
In your use of the Software, you must not remove, obscure, or modify any other attribution to any party that is included within the Software.
7.4 Evaluation Licences

7.5 System Requirements
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your systems meet the hardware, software and any other applicable system requirements for the Software. You are responsible for determining that any systems you have in place are sufficient for any Software you use.
8 Hosted Services Terms
8.1 Right to Access
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Adaptavist may grant you a non-exclusive right to access and use the Hosted Services during the applicable Subscription Term (as defined below) in accordance with this Agreement and your applicable scope of use & other criteria such as number of users as defined in your Order (together, the "Subscription Specification"). If Adaptavist offers client software (for example, a desktop or mobile application) for any Hosted Service, you may use such software solely with the Hosted Service, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You acknowledge that our Hosted Services are online, subscription-based products and that we may make changes to the Hosted Services from time to time.
8.2 Subscription Terms and Renewals
Hosted Services are provided on a subscription basis for a set term specified in your Order ("Subscription Term"). If not specified clearly on your Order, the Subscription Term is 30 days.
Except as otherwise specified in your Order, all subscriptions will automatically renew for periods equal to your initial Subscription Term and the same Subscription Specification (and you will be charged at the then-current rates) unless you cancel your subscription by written notice received by Adaptavist at least 30 days prior to the end of the Subscription Term. If you cancel, your subscription will terminate at the end of the then-current billing cycle, but you will not be entitled to any credits or refunds for amounts accrued or paid prior to such termination unless noted otherwise in your Order.
8.3 Evaluation Licences
See section "No-Charge Products" below.
8.4 Credentials for Authorised Users
You must ensure that all Authorised Users keep their user IDs and passwords for the Hosted Services strictly confidential and not share such information with any unauthorised person. User IDs are granted to individual, named persons and may not be shared. You are responsible for any and all actions taken using your accounts and passwords.
You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of which you become aware.
8.5 Your Data and Generated Content
"Your Data" means any data, content, code, video, images or other materials of any type that you upload, submit or otherwise transmit to or through Hosted Services. You will retain all right, title and interest in and to Your Data in the form provided to Adaptavist. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you hereby grant to Adaptavist a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to (a) collect, use, copy, store, transmit, modify and create derivative works of Your Data, in each case solely to the extent necessary to provide the applicable Hosted Service to you and (b) for Hosted Services that enable you to share Your Data or interact with other people, to distribute, publicly perform and display Your Data as you (or your Authorised Users) direct or enable through the Hosted Service. Adaptavist may also access your account or instance in order to respond to your support requests.
"Generated Content" means output(s) to You from the Hosted Services, including from use of artificial intelligence techniques and algorithms, and which may be generated by us or third party providers of content and/or artificial intelligence services, all based on the inputs provided by You to the Hosted Services. Adaptavist is not responsible or liable for the Generated Content created, its accuracy or uniqueness, the impact of the artificial intelligence features, techniques and services used in the Hosted Services, or Generated Content on your success in your business activities and your commercial outcomes and any consequences related to your use of the artificial intelligence features or Generated Content.
8.6 Security
Adaptavist implements security procedures to help protect Your Data from security attacks. However, you understand that use of the Hosted Services necessarily involves transmission of Your Data over networks that are not owned, operated or controlled by us, and we are not responsible for any of Your Data lost, altered, intercepted or stored across such networks. We cannot guarantee that our security procedures will be error-free, that transmissions of Your Data will always be secure or that unauthorised third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or those of our third party service providers.
8.7 Storage Limits
There may be storage limits associated with a particular Hosted Service. These limits are described in the services descriptions on our websites or in the documentation for the particular Hosted Service. We may impose new, or may modify existing, storage limits for the Hosted Services at any time in our discretion, where such limits materially alter the terms of your Order, we will provide you with 30 days prior written notice thereof.
8.8 Fair Use Policy
If the Licensee is using Hosted Services, the Licensee understands and agrees to Adaptavist's Fair Use for Hosted Services Policy as follows:
The Fair Use for Hosted Services Policy outlines constraints in the volume of use of the Hosted Services. In providing this service, Adaptavist incurs costs that vary depending on the Licensee's use of the Hosted Service itself, and draws upon resources intended for the use of our broad base of clients. Costs include payment for resources such as IT infrastructure (including processing power) on which the Hosted Service runs, and associated network connectivity. In order to provide a service at a fixed price to the Licensee, Adaptavist must contain overall costs, and therefore usage, to a certain level. Adaptavist must also ensure that inappropriate usage from one client does not negatively affect the experience of other clients.
8.8.1 Appropriate and inappropriate use
Adaptavist understands that requirements and usage vary for users. Activities which are more likely to be judged non-compliant may include, for example and without limitation:
- Automating the creation, updating, or deletion of a thousand or more records (such as "issues" on Jira) at once, and in a recurring manner;
- Probing, stress loading, or testing Software;
- Repeatedly drawing upon 300% per-user normal levels of network bandwidth.
8.8.2 Breach and resolution
Adaptavist will monitor use of the Hosted Services and, based solely on its judgement, determine whether the Licensee is in compliance with this Fair Use for Hosted Services Policy. If the Licensee is not in compliance, the Licensee will then be in "Breach of Fair Use".
If the Licensee is in "Breach of Fair Use" Adaptavist will be entitled (without prejudice to any other right or claim that Adaptavist may have against Licensee):
- At its discretion suspend or terminate a Licensee's access to (right to use) the relevant Hosted Services.
- Charge Licensee, in addition to any other Fees payable by Licensee under this EULA, a fee calculated based on the volume of use which is in Breach of Fair Use, up to triple the fees already payable by Licensee. This additional fee will be used to cover additional costs of resources incurred by the Licensee's inappropriate usage, as well as associated administration costs.
Adaptavist may also approach the Licensee in the interest of designing a customised service that could accommodate the Licensee's usage requirements.
9 Responsibility for Your Data
9.1 General
You must ensure that your use of all Your Data is at all times compliant with all applicable local, state, federal and international laws and regulations (“Laws”). You represent and warrant that:
9.1.1 You have obtained all necessary rights, releases and permissions to provide all Your Data to Adaptavist and to grant the rights granted to Adaptavist in this Agreement; and
9.1.2 Your Data and its transfer to and use by Adaptavist as authorised by you under this Agreement does not violate any Laws (including without limitation those relating to export control and electronic communications) or rights of any third party (including without limitation any intellectual property rights), rights of privacy, or rights of publicity, and any use, collection and disclosure authorised herein is not inconsistent with the terms of any applicable privacy policies. Adaptavist assumes no responsibility or liability for Your Data, and you shall be solely responsible for Your Data and the consequences of using, disclosing, storing, or transmitting it.
Some Products may have features and functionality (for example integration and automation with third party services and APIs) which uses your credentials, such as in the form of keys, which you provide as input to the Products. You acknowledge and agree to use such Product features and functionality and to provide to the Products your credentials solely at your own risk and at your own liability, and Adaptavist has no responsibility or liability with respect to third party services and APIs (such as charges incurred) through use of your credentials by the Products.
9.2 Sensitive Data
You will not submit to the Hosted Services (or use the Hosted Services to collect or generate):
9.2.1 any patient, medical or other protected health information regulated by HIPAA or any similar federal or state laws, rules or regulations; or
9.2.2 any other information subject to regulation or protection under specific laws such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (or related rules or regulations); or
9.2.3 special category data as defined by UK DPA 2018 (GDPR), (unless otherwise authorised in writing by Adaptavist).
The above information mentioned in this clause "Sensitive Data" will be collectively referred to as “Sensitive Data”. You also acknowledge that Adaptavist is not acting as your Business Associate or Subcontractor (as such terms are defined and used in HIPAA) and that the Hosted Services are not HIPAA compliant. “HIPAA” means the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended and supplemented. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Adaptavist has no liability under this Agreement for Sensitive Data.
9.3 Indemnity for Your Data
You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Adaptavist from and against any loss, cost, liability or damage, including attorneys’ fees, for which Adaptavist becomes liable arising from or relating to any claim relating to Your Data, including but not limited to any claim brought by a third party alleging that Your Data, or your use of the Hosted Services is in breach of this Agreement, or infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of a third party or violates applicable law.
9.4 Removals and Suspension
Adaptavist has no obligation to monitor any content uploaded to the Hosted Services, not your use thereof, other than as expressly set out herein. Nonetheless, if we deem such action necessary based on your violation of this Agreement, we may (1) remove Your Data from the Hosted Services or (2) suspend your access to the Hosted Services. We will generally alert you when we take such action and give you a reasonable opportunity to cure your breach, but if we determine that your actions endanger the operation of the Hosted Service or other users, we may suspend your access immediately without notice. You will continue to be charged for the Hosted Service during any suspension period. We have no liability to you for removing or deleting Your Data from or suspending your access to any Hosted Services as described in this section.
9.5 Deletion at End of Subscription Term
We may remove or delete Your Data within a reasonable period of time after the termination of your Subscription Term subject to the terms of this Agreement.
10 Support and Maintenance
Adaptavist will provide the support and maintenance services where specified for the Products ("Support and Maintenance") during the period for which you have paid the applicable fee. You shall provide Adaptavist with reasonable access to your materials, systems, personnel or other resources (including your instances of the Software) as reasonably necessary for Adaptavist's provision of Support and Maintenance; if you do not provide such access, Adaptavist's provision of Support and Maintenance will be excused until you do so.
This Agreement applies to updates, supplements, add-on components, or Internet-based services components, which includes use of "cloud" based applications, of the Software ("Supplementary Software") that Adaptavist may provide to the Licensee or make available to the Licensee after the date the Licensee obtains its initial copy of the Software, unless Adaptavist provides other terms along with any Supplementary Software. Adaptavist reserves the right to discontinue any Internet-based services provided to the Licensee or made available to the Licensee through the use of the Software. Any support services provided by Adaptavist and described separately in documentation to the Licensee specifically may be subject to the payment of additional Fees.
11 Financial Terms
You shall pay any invoices submitted to you by Adaptavist within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice, or as otherwise specified in the Order.
11.1 Atlassian Apps Delivery and Payment
We will deliver the applicable licence keys (in the case of Software) or login instructions (in the case of Hosted Services) to the email addresses specified in your Order when we have received payment of the applicable fees. All deliveries under this Agreement will be electronic. For the avoidance of doubt, you are responsible for installation of any Software, and you acknowledge that both Adaptavist and Atlassian have no further delivery obligation with respect to the Software after delivery of the licence keys. The delivery of licence keys shall be made by Atlassian through the Atlassian Marketplace on behalf of Adaptavist, unless other arrangements have been made directly with Adaptavist outside the scope of this Agreement.
You can request a refund or exchange/upgrade of your commercial or academic server licence up to 30 days after the original date of purchase or as otherwise specified in your Order. After the 30-day period, standard pricing for upgrades will apply and refunds/exchanges will not be available. Refunds for any Adaptavist products that are sold to work with Atlassian Cloud (i.e. a Hosted Service) are only available within the first paid month after the evaluation period for monthly subscriptions and within 30 days of payment for annual subscriptions, or as specified in your Order.
In making payments, you acknowledge that you are not relying on future availability of any Products beyond the current Licence Term or Subscription Term or any Product upgrades or feature enhancements. If you add Authorised Users during your Licence Term or Subscription Term, you will be charged for the increased number of Authorised Users pursuant to the then-currently applicable rates in your next billing cycle. You agree that we may bill your credit card for renewals, additional users, and unpaid fees, as applicable.
11.2 Trello Apps, Slack Apps, ScriptRunner Connect and Venue.sh Payment
To obtain access to the appropriate Product, you must pay the fee ("Fee") advertised in consideration of Adaptavist granting a licence.
Our Trello-related Products, Slack-related Products and ScriptRunner Connect and Venue.sh may be purchased on the (as applicable) Adaptavist or Kolekti website(s) or ScriptRunner Connect or Venue.sh, via https://stripe.com/gb. To process the transaction, you warrant that you have familiarised yourself with and agree to be bound by the Stripe Privacy Policy and Terms. It is your responsibility to check for any changes to Adaptavist payment terms and conditions from time to time.
11.3 Monday.com Apps
Our Products for use with Monday.com ("Monday.com Apps") may be purchased on the Monday.com marketplace for apps (https://monday.com/marketplace) subject also to its terms. The Monday.com Apps are considered to be Hosted Services under this Agreement and are hence subject to the terms for Hosted Services set out in this Agreement.
Refunds for our paid Monday.com Apps are only available within 30 calendar days after first purchase.
11.4 Hosted Services Payment Terms
You may purchase a licence subscription to one of our Hosted Services, subject to the then-current subscription pricing plan for that Hosted Service, which may include No-Charge Products.
11.4.1 Changes to the Subscription Specification
11.4.1.1 Additions/increments/increases to the Subscription Specification
You may add users, increase storage limits, or otherwise increase your use of a Hosted Service by placing a new Order or modifying an existing Order. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, we will charge you for any increased use at our then-current subscription plan rates, prorated for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Term.
11.4.1.2 Removals/decrements/reductions to the Subscription Specification
The Subscription Specification for a Subscription cannot be decreased (for instance, a reduction in the number of end users) during the applicable Subscription Term, unless otherwise agreed in writing with Adaptavist or unless the Hosted Service permits this as defined in the subscription pricing plan for that specific Hosted Service.
11.4.2 Changes to subscription pricing plans for Hosted Services
11.4.2.1 Adaptavist may update or amend the subscription pricing plan for a Hosted Service, including No-Charge Products from time to time, and we will make every reasonable effort to notify you of such changes, providing no less than 30 days advance notice.
11.4.2.2 In the event that you do not provide written rejection of such change on or before expiry of the notice period, the change will become binding. In the event you notify Adaptavist that you do not wish to accept such price change, either party may elect to terminate the Agreement having provided 30 days written notice to the other party.
12 Taxes
12.1 Regarding taxes relating to your payments of Products to us
Your payments under this Agreement exclude any taxes or duties payable in respect of the Products in the jurisdiction where the payment is either made or received. To the extent that any such taxes or duties are payable by Adaptavist, you must pay to Adaptavist the amount of such taxes or duties in addition to any fees owed under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may have obtained an exemption from relevant taxes or duties as of the time such taxes or duties are levied or assessed. In that case, you will have the right to provide to Adaptavist any such exemption information, and Adaptavist will use reasonable efforts to provide such invoicing documents as may enable you to obtain a refund or credit for the amount so paid from any relevant revenue authority if such a refund or credit is available.
13 Malicious use
13.1 You shall not use or allow use of the Products for "Malicious Reasons." Malicious Reasons shall include, without limitation:
13.1.1 use that causes, or may cause, damage to the Product or interference with the availability, functioning, security or accessibility of the Product;
13.1.2 use of code, files, scripts, agents or programs that cause or are intended to cause harm, including without limitation, spyware, viruses, worms, time bombs and Trojan horses;
13.1.3. use which is, or is connected with:
- unlawful, illegal, fraudulent or harmful purposes, or
- misrepresentation, or
- breach of Adaptavist's or any third party's intellectual property rights; or
- abusive, threatening or obscene behaviour towards others; or
- defamation, libel or rights infringement.
13.1.4 use which by its nature or the circumstances of its use, a person exercising reasonable business judgment would understand to be malicious;
13.1.5 use that does comply with relevant Laws in your jurisdiction.
You shall defend and indemnify and hold harmless Adaptavist from and against any and all liabilities, damages, settlements, penalties, losses, fines, costs or expenses (including without limitation reasonable legal fees) arising out of any actual or suspected claim that you have used or you have allowed use of the Products for Malicious Reasons.
Adaptavist shall have the right to immediately terminate or suspend your access to the Product if Adaptavist determines in its sole opinion, acting reasonably, that you have used or allowed use of the Product for Malicious Reasons. In this event, no refund shall be due to you as a result of such termination or suspension.
14 No-Charge Products and Beta Versions
We may at our sole discretion offer certain Products to you at no charge and/or without full functionality, including free accounts, for evaluation purposes, trial use, and access to Beta Versions as defined below ("No-Charge Products"). Your use of No-Charge Products is subject to this EULA and may also be subject to any additional terms that we specify upon providing you with the No-Charge Products and is only permitted for the period designated by us (or for 30 days if not otherwise specified).
No-Charge Products may not have full functionality. If the No-Charge Product is only provided for evaluation purposes the rights of the Licensee are limited to this evaluation licence which permits the Licensee to (where applicable) download, install, use and operate the No-Charge Product for a limited period ("Evaluation Period") and be accessed by a limited number of temporary users only, as determined by Adaptavist ("Evaluation Licence"). On the expiry of the Evaluation Period the No-Charge Product will cease to function or be accessible and the Licensee must remove and irrevocably delete all copies of the No-Charge Product in its possession. If the Evaluation Period is not otherwise specified, it shall be 30 days.
You may not use No-Charge Products for competitive analysis or similar purposes. We may terminate your right to use No-Charge Products at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion, without liability to you. You understand that any pre-release and beta products we make available ("Beta Versions") are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete and are likely to contain more errors and bugs than generally available Products. We make no promises that any Beta Versions will ever be made generally available. In some circumstances, we may charge a fee in order to allow you to access Beta Versions, but the Beta Versions will still remain subject to this section "No-Charge Products". All information regarding the characteristics, features or performance of Beta Versions constitutes Adaptavist's Confidential Information. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all obligations or liabilities with respect to No-Charge Products, including any Support and Maintenance, warranty, and indemnity obligations. The terms of this EULA are applicable to No-Charge Products.
15 Restrictions
15.1 Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, you will not:
15.1.1 rent, lease, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works of, distribute, sell, sublicense, transfer, or provide access to the Products to a third party, or
15.1.2 use the Products for the benefit of any third party without prior written authorisation from Adaptavist.

15.1.4 interfere with any licence key mechanism in the Products or otherwise circumvent mechanisms in the Products intended to limit your use, or

15.3. You further agree to indemnify Adaptavist against all costs (including legal fees), claims and damages arising from your breach of this Section 15.
16 Ownership and Feedback
Products are made available on a limited licence or access basis, and no ownership right is conveyed to you, irrespective of the use of terms such as "purchase" or "sale". Adaptavist and its licensors have and retain all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Products (including all No-Charge Products), their "look and feel", any and all related or underlying technology, and any modifications or derivative works of the foregoing created by or for Adaptavist, including without limitation as they may incorporate Feedback ("Adaptavist Technology"). From time to time, you may choose to submit comments, information, questions, data, ideas, description of processes, or other information to Adaptavist ("Feedback"), which may or may not be in the course of receiving Support and Maintenance. Adaptavist may in connection with any of its products or services freely use, copy, disclose, license, distribute and exploit any Feedback in any manner without any obligation, royalty or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise. No Feedback will be considered your Confidential Information, and nothing in this Agreement limits Adaptavist's right to independently use, develop, evaluate, or market products, whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise.

17 Confidentiality
17.1 Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information disclosed to such party ("Receiving Party") by the disclosing party ("Disclosing Party") constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party ("Confidential Information"), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure, or can otherwise be classified as Confidential Information as indicated in this Agreement, or which a reasonable person should deem to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information and/or the circumstances of disclosure. Any Adaptavist Technology and any performance information relating to the Products shall be deemed Confidential Information of Adaptavist without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorised herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information
17.2 The Receiving Party's nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document:
17.2.1. was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information and was not subject to an obligation of confidentiality;
17.2.2 is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party;
17.2.3 is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or
17.2.4 is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such Confidential Information.
17.2.5 The Receiving Party may also disclose Confidential Information if so required pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party).
17.3 The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law. For the avoidance of doubt, this section shall not operate as a separate warranty with respect to the operation of any Product.
17.4 Nothing herein prevents either party from disclosing Confidential Information to the minimum extent required by law. Where the Receiving Party is required to make such disclosure, it shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Disclosing Party where legally so permitted.
