vii.       any other information Driver Partner knows to have been divulged to them by BUYMYBUMPER, or by a third party in the course of performing the contracted Advertising Services, in confidence.

17.2         The Parties agree to use each other’s Confidential Information solely to effectuate their respective obligations hereunder, and will not disclose each other’s Confidential Information to any third parties; provided, however, that Confidential Information may be disclosed to such Party’s employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and representatives who have a need-to-know such information to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those herein. Each Party will be responsible for any breach of this provision by its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and representatives.

17.3         All Confidential Information will remain the exclusive property of the disclosing Party. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to grant a Party any rights in or to the Confidential Information disclosed by the other Party, or any part thereof.

17.5         In the event of a breach of this Section 18, the aggrieved Party will have the right to demand the immediate return of all Confidential Information and recover its actual damages incurred by reason of such breach in accordance with the Arbitration Provision (as defined and set forth in Section 15). The Parties specifically acknowledge that the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information would result in irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law, and in such event the aggrieved Party will be entitled to an injunction pending arbitration, or any other remedy available at law or in equity to prevent further unauthorized use or disclosure, and that no bond will be required. Failure to comply with any part of this Section 18 will constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

Together with the terms of any Engagements agreed to between the Parties, this Agreement is the entire Agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter herein.

19.3         Failure of either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver thereof, or as excusing the other Party from future performance.

19.4         Headings and Captions appearing in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not in any way limit, amplify, modify or otherwise affect the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

19.5         If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
