Your use of the Services includes use by the following (known collectively as the “Authorized Users”); (i) the Your employees; (ii) any contractors or other staff who are working for You; and (iii) any other person working with, or on behalf, of You; provided that: (a) such Authorized User is accessing and using the Services exclusively on Your behalf; and (b) You will at all times be responsible for the actions and omissions of each Authorized User as if such actions and omissions were Your own.
1.3. Restrictions.
Only Authorized Users are permitted to access and use the Services and BIGcontrols reserves the right to audit such use.

3.3. Use of Marks.
You grant to BIGcontrols a royalty free, non-exclusive worldwide license, to use, display and publish any of Your trademarks or logos as necessary for BIGcontrols to provide the Services.

3.4. Third Party Content.
Certain information and other content appearing in the Services may be the material of third party licensors and suppliers to BIGcontrols (“Third Party Content”). Third Party Content does not include Your Content. The Third Party Content is, in each case, the copyrighted and/or trademarked work of the creator/licensor. You agree to only display the Third Party Content on Your computer or other display device solely for Your personal use or internal business use. You acknowledge and agree that under these terms alone You have no right to download, cache, reproduce, modify, display, edit, alter or enhance any of the Third Party Content in any manner unless You have permission from the owner of the Third Party Content.
4. Confidential Information.
4.1. Generally.
“Confidential Information” will mean confidential or other non-public proprietary information that is disclosed by either party to the other under this Agreement, including without limitation, software code and designs, hardware, product specifications and documentation, financial data, business, marketing and product plans, or technology, and information whether disclosed verbally or visually that is of a nature or disclosed in a context that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential or proprietary, and any information (which includes, without limitation, Your or an Authorized User’s name, address, phone number, email, incidents created, notes created, contact history, or communication history).
4.2. Obligations of Confidentiality.
Each party agrees that it will hold in strict confidence and not disclose the Confidential Information of the other party to any third party and to use the Confidential Information of the other party for no purpose other than the purposes expressly permitted by this Agreement. Each party will only permit access to the other party’s Confidential Information to those of its or its affiliates’ employees, contractors and advisors having a need to know and who have signed confidentiality agreements containing terms at least as restrictive as those contained in this Agreement or are otherwise bound legally to a duty of confidentiality. Each party will maintain the confidentiality and prevent accidental or other loss or disclosure of any Confidential Information of the other party with at least the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care.
4.3. Exclusions from Obligations.
A party’s obligations of confidentiality under this Agreement will not apply to information which such party can document or show by other admissible evidence (i) is in the public domain or known in the industry without the breach of any agreement or fiduciary duty or the violation of any law, (ii) was known to the party prior to the time of disclosure without the breach of any agreement or fiduciary duty or the violation of any law, (iii) is proven by contemporaneous records to be independently developed by the party prior to receiving such Confidential Information. Further, Confidential Information does not include Statistics.
4.4. Legally Required Disclosure.
In the event either party is required to disclose, pursuant to a judicial order, a requirement of a governmental agency or by operation of law, any Confidential Information provided to it by the other party then such party will provide the other party written notice of any such requirement promptly after learning of any such requirement, and take commercially reasonable measures, at the expense of the party whose Confidential Information it is, to avoid or limit disclosure under such requirements and to obtain confidential treatment or a protective order and allow the other party to participate in the proceeding. Nothing in this section will waive the continuing obligation of confidentiality to any such information disclosed.
4.5. Privacy.
All use of the Services will be subject to BIGcontrols Privacy Policy found above (“Privacy Policy”) and all applicable laws governing the use, collection, disclosure and storage of personal or personally identifying information. BIGcontrols will only permit access to such data to those of its employees having a need to know and who have signed confidentiality agreements containing terms at least as restrictive as those contained in this Agreement, and BIGcontrols further agrees that it will not further disclose such information to any third party without Your prior written consent.
4.6. Injunctive Relief.
Each party recognizes and acknowledges that any use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other party in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement will cause the other party irreparable damage for which remedies at law may be inadequate. Accordingly, the non-breaching party will have the right to seek an immediate injunction in respect of any breach of these confidentiality obligations to obtain such relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph will not in any way limit the remedies in law or equity otherwise available to the non-breaching party.
4.7. Return of Confidential Information.
Upon written request by either party hereto, the other party will promptly return all documents and other tangible materials representing the requesting party’s Confidential Information and all copies thereof, except for any archived materials that are required to be retained by law or that are not easily retrievable from secured archival systems, or for records created in the ordinary course of business that are kept by a party for contract compliance and enforcement purposes subject to continuing confidentiality.
