Confidentiality

Each party (the "Recipient") shall hold in confidence and not disclose to any third party nor use for any purpose other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement any Confidential Information of the other party (the "Discloser"). Confidential Information includes, without limitation, pricing models, RMA procedures, inspection criteria, technical data, customer lists, and other non-public business information.

Confidential Information does not include information that (i) is or becomes publicly available through no breach by the Recipient, (ii) was in Recipient's possession prior to disclosure by Discloser without obligation of confidentiality, (iii) is rightfully received from a third party without restriction, or (iv) is independently developed by Recipient without reference to Discloser's Confidential Information.
