CONFIDENTIALITY AND NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT BY CLICKING "I ACCEPT", "OK", "CONTINUE", "YES" YOU ARE INDICATING YOUR COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.        
THIS CONFIDENTIALITY AND NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made by and between BITDEFEDER SRL., with its principal address as 20 Maguricea Street, Bucharest, Romania (hereinafter referred to as "BITDEFEDER"), duly represented by Mr. Florin Talpes, as a General Manager and YOU (hereinafter referred to as " Partner")

WHEREAS, BITDEFEDER and Partner are both aware that the business of each consists of highly confidential information, including, but not limited to, customer contracts, customer lists, price lists, processes, procedures, technologies, and technical and development plans, which are trade secrets of considerable and unique value to the customers and the business of both parties.

WHEREAS, the nature of the communications of both BITDEFEDER and Partner will necessarily result in access to trade secrets and other confidential information acquired and developed, and to be acquired and developed, by each Party at considerable expense of time and money, which trade and technical secrets and information, of necessity, due to the competitive nature of the industry in which each Party is engaged, are highly confidential and remain the exclusive property of the provider of the confidential information;

NOW, THEREFORE, for adequate and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS. These terms, when used in this Agreement, shall be defined as follows:

(a) "Confidential Information" means, but is not limited to, any information not in the public domain relating to the names and addresses of customers, processes, marketing strategies, marketing proposals, operational procedures, formulas, research, ideas, inventions, discoveries, improvements, equipment, methods of service, costs or prices or uses of the products or services of both BITDEFEDER and Partner, financial information not otherwise previously discussed, business plans of each Party, customer and supplier information, credit information, personnel information, and other confidential information or trade secrets, including, but not limited to, customer contracts, customer lists, price lists, marketing concepts, processes and procedures, whether contained in any written documents and whether belonging to both BITDEFEDER and Partner (for this purpose, both BITDEFEDER and Partner are to include any of the affiliated or subsidiary corporations of each Party) or in the possession of both BITDEFEDER and Partner pursuant to obligations of secrecy to others, which are communicated to, acquired by, developed by, or learned by either Party to this Agreement as a result of communications with each other (whether or not such information is labeled or designated as "confidential");

(b) "BITDEFEDER’s Business", "Partner's Business", "Business of BITDEFEDER" or "Business of Partner" shall mean the marketing, production, sale, service and support of computer virus protection or other software and related products and all related fields; and

(c) "Documents" shall include, but is not limited to, any and all correspondence, memoranda, notes, records, letters, summaries of personal conversations or interviews, minutes or records, or notes of meetings, conferences or phone conversations, opinions or reports of consultants, accountants or auditors, projections, statistical statements, feasibility studies, financial projections, contracts, agreements, purchase orders, confirmations, telegrams, telexes, books, notes, reports, logs, diaries,

2. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE. BITDEFEDER and Partner, hereby jointly and severally, acknowledge that each Party will have access to and become acquainted with Confidential Information which is regularly used or contemplated to be used in either BITDEFEDER's Business or Partner's Business. Both BITDEFEDER and Partner hereby acknowledge that all information regarding BITDEFEDER’s Business and its affiliated and subsidiary corporations or Partner's Business and its affiliated and subsidiary corporations, compiled or obtained by, or furnished to, either, while this Agreement is in full force and effect, is Confidential Information and is the exclusive property of either BITDEFEDER or Partner through their association, whether or not designated as such by either Party. Neither Party to this Agreement shall directly or indirectly, either disclose any Document or Confidential Information, except as approved, in writing, by the owner of such Document or Confidential Information, or use any Document or Confidential Information for the benefit or profit of either Party or for the benefit of any other person, firm, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, proprietorship, association or other business entity, or at any time. All Documents of any kind relating to the Business of BITDEFEDER or the Business of Partner, as may be the case, which come into the possession of either Party to this Agreement shall remain the sole property of BITDEFEDER or Partner, as may be the case, and may only be used by the other Party to evaluate the possibility of, and/or perform under, future agreements entered into by the Parties for the mutual benefit of the Parties. Each Party to this Agreement shall return all such Documents, and all copies, to the respective owner of all such Documents upon the termination, for any reason, of communications with, or upon demand of, the respective owner of all such Documents.

3. REMEDIES. BITDEFEDER and Partner expressly agree and understand that the remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by either Party to this Agreement will be inadequate and that the damages flowing from any such breach may not be readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, BITDEFEDER and Partner acknowledge that upon adequate proof of a violation by either Party to this Agreement of any of the provisions of this Agreement, BITDEFEDER or Partner, as the case may be, shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction against any threatened or future breach hereof.

BITDEFEDER and Partner expressly acknowledge and agree that the restrictions are reasonable and are fully required to protect the legitimate interests of BITDEFEDER or Partner, as the case may be, and do not confer a benefit upon BITDEFEDER or Partner, as the case may be, disproportionate to the detriment of either Party.

4. SEVERABLE PROVISIONS. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one or more provisions is determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable in whole or in part, the remaining provisions, and any partially enforceable provision, shall be binding and enforceable to the extent enforceable in any jurisdiction.

6. WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The failure of either BITDEFEDER or Partner, as the case may be, to enforce any provision or provisions of the Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions as to any future violations thereof, nor prevent either BITDEFEDER or Partner, as the case may be, thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted herein are cumulative and the waiver of any single remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of either BITDEFEDER or Partner to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the circumstances.
