Confidential Information will not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault or breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; (ii) is rightfully known by the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure without an obligation of confidentiality; (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to or use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that can be evidenced in writing; or (iv) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third-party without restriction on use or disclosure. For clarity, the Software and the Documentation will be deemed Confidential Information of Nx. The Receiving Party will not use or disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except as necessary to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only: (A) to those of its employees, contractors, agents and advisors who have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information to perform under this Agreement and who are bound by written agreements with use and nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective of the Confidential Information as those set forth in this Agreement, or (B) as such disclosure may be required by the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body, subject to the Receiving Party providing to the Disclosing Party reasonable written notice to allow the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or otherwise contest the disclosure.5. POLICIES; SUPPORT.
You hereby acknowledge that you have reviewed and agreed to the Nx Privacy Policy at https://cloud.nx.app/privacy.

INDEMNIFICATION.
- (a) Nx Indemnification. Nx will defend and pay all damages finally awarded against you pursuant to a final, valid and binding judgment or order, or a final settlement agreement with respect to any claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third party against you arising from the Software’s infringement of such third-party’s IPR. The foregoing obligation will not apply if the underlying third-party claim arises from (i) your breach of this Agreement, negligence, willful misconduct or fraud; (ii) modifications to the Software by anyone other than Nx; or (iii) combinations of the Software of with software, data or materials not provided by Nx. If Nx reasonably believes the Software (or any component) could infringe any third party’s IPR, Nx may, at its sole option and expense: (A) procure the right for you to continue using the Software (or any infringing component) to make it non-infringing without materially reducing its functionality; or (B) replace the Software (or any infringing component) with a non-infringing alternative that is functionally equivalent in all material respects. If the foregoing remedies are not available to Nx on commercially reasonable terms, then Nx may terminate your use of the Software upon notice to you.
- (b) Your Indemnification. You will defend and pay all damages finally awarded against Nx pursuant to a final, valid and binding judgment or order or a final settlement agreement with respect to any claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third party against Nx arising from any breach of the restrictions set forth in Section 2(b).
- (c) Indemnification Procedures. The party seeking defense and indemnity (the “Indemnified Party”) will promptly notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any and all such claims and will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party with the defense and/or settlement thereof. The Indemnifying Party will have the sole right to conduct the defense of any claim for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible hereunder (provided that the Indemnifying Party may not settle any claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written approval unless the settlement unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all liability, does not require any admission by the Indemnified Party, and does not place restrictions upon the Indemnified Party’s business). The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense or settlement of any such claim at its own expense and with its own choice of counsel or, if the Indemnifying Party refuses to fulfill its obligation of defense, the Indemnified Party may defend itself and seek reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party.
