\Public Information\ Information that is now public is not <Confidential Information>. <Confidential Information> that becomes public, other than as a result of breach of this agreement, ceases to be <Confidential Information>.
\Otherwise Acquired Information\ Information that <Receiving Party> receives other than from <Disclosing Party> is not <Confidential Information>, unless the disclosure breached a confidentiality obligation to <Disclosing Party> that <Disclosing Party> made known to <Receiving Party>.
\Independently Developed Information\ Information <Receiving Party> develops independently is not, or ceases to be, <Confidential Information> of <Disclosing Party>. <Receiving Party> shall bear the burden of proving independent development using contemporaneous documentary evidence.

\\ Except as described in {Permitted Disclosure}, <Receiving Party> shall not disclose <Confidential Information> to anyone.
\Permitted Disclosure\ <Receiving Party> may disclose <Confidential Information> to the following personnel:
\\ employees, independent contractors, officers, directors, and agents of <Receiving Party> (""Personnel"") who:
\\ have a need to know the <Confidential Information> to advance the <Purpose>; and

If possible, <Receiving Party> shall give notice quickly enough to afford <Disclosing Party> a practical opportunity to take legal action to protect the confidentiality of the <Confidential Information>. On <Disclosing Party> request, <Receiving Party> shall cooperate with <Disclosing Party> in any such proceeding by providing reasonable assistance, on request from <Disclosing Party>.

\\ return all materials embodying <Confidential Information> that <Disclosing Party> provided with a written request to return rather than destroy; and
\\ destroy all parts of other materials that embody <Confidential Information>.
\Records Policy\ When this agreement terminates, if <Receiving Party> has a written records retention policy for the creation and scheduled destruction of archival or backup records, and only specialized personnel can routinely access those records, then <Receiving Party> may retain materials embodying <Confidential Information> until destroyed under that policy.

\\ <Receiving Party> shall ensure that its <Personnel> and <Advisers> abide by the confidentiality obligations of <Receiving Party> under this agreement.

Either party may change its e-mail or postal address for later communications by giving notice of a new address.
\Severability\ If a court decides than any part of this agreement is invalid or unenforceable for any reason, but enforcing the rest of the agreement would serve the purpose of protecting <Confidential Information> to advance the <Purpose>, then rest of this agreement will remain in force.
