The term “Receiving Party” shall mean the party receiving Confidential Information from the Disclosing Party. As used in these Terms, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all information that the Disclosing Party has furnished or is furnishing to the Receiving Party, whether furnished before or after the date of these Terms, whether tangible or intangible and whatever form or medium provided, including all information generated by the Receiving Party that contains, reflects or is derived from the furnished information. For the avoidance of doubt, all User Content shall, at all times, constitute the Confidential Information of User. 
  32. Obligations. Each party acknowledges it may have access to Confidential Information of the other party. The Receiving Party agrees to keep the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party confidential and to take all reasonable precautions, at least to the same degree of care and precautions the Receiving Party would take to protect the confidential nature of its own information, not to disclose copy, distribute or otherwise disseminate the Confidential Information to any person other than Permitted Recipients (as defined below). The Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information only to those employees, agents, affiliates and subcontractors who have a legitimate business reason to have such access for purposes of performing its obligations under these Terms, and are subject to the requirement to abide by confidentiality and nonuse obligations substantially similar and in no case less constringent to these Terms’ non-disclosure obligations (the “Permitted Recipients”), provided, however, that as to Third Party Services, confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations shall be limited to the ones contained in such Third Party Services terms and conditions. Receiving Party agrees, at its sole expense, to take all reasonable measures from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information and shall be liable for any breach by Permitted Recipients. 
  33. Exclusions. The obligations of this Section shall not apply to information which (a) is already known to the Receiving Party (as shown by documentary evidence) at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party and was not received from the Disclosing Party; (b) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party in breach of the terms hereof; (c) becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party, its agents, representatives, contractors or employees) as a matter of legal right and not under a duty of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (d) is independently developed by agents of the Receiving Party without using any Confidential Information; or (e) is disclosed by the Receiving Party with the Disclosing Party’s prior written approval. 
  34. Disclosures Required by Law. Nothing in these Terms shall obligate either party to refrain from disclosure of Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is required by law. In the event that any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by law, including without limitation, pursuant to the terms of a subpoena or similar document or in connection with litigation, arbitration or other proceedings, the Receiving Party shall use its reasonable efforts to give prior prompt notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party, and shall allow the Disclosing Party, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, to contest the disclosure of Confidential Information on the Disclosing Party’s behalf, and the Receiving Party will reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party in such efforts to contest such disclosure. In any event, the Receiving Party agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required to be disclosed and will make reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for that part of the Confidential Information being disclosed.
  35. Expiration, Termination and Breach. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of these Terms, the Receiving Party shall return all originals and copies of any Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party or, with respect to copies, shall certify to the Disclosing Party that all copies of Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s control have been destroyed. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of the provisions of this Section 9, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to an injunction (without posting any bond therefor) restraining the Receiving Party from disclosing, in whole or in part, any such Confidential Information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Disclosing Party from pursuing any other remedies available to Disclosing Party for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall not be required to return to the Disclosing Party or destroy copies of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that (i) reside on the Receiving Party’s backup, disaster recovery or business continuity systems, or (ii) that the Receiving Party is obligated by applicable law and/or industry and/or governmental regulations to retain, which copies shall remain subject to the duty of confidentiality under this Section 9.
