XVI.    CONFIDENTIALITY

 

Each Party (the "Receiving Party") recognizes that the other Party (the "Disclosing Party") may from time to time furnish to the Receiving Party information of a proprietary or confidential nature (including, without limitation, pricing information, data, know-how, manuals, and reports) relating to the Disclosing Party ("Confidential Information").  The Receiving Party shall (a) use Confidential Information only to the extent necessary in order to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and safeguard the proprietary or confidential nature of all Confidential Information; (c) not use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information for competing with the Disclosing Party or for any purpose not solely in furtherance of the Receiving Party's performance under this Agreement; and (d) not disclose to any person or entity (other than the Receiving Party's agents and employees on a need-to-know basis) any Confidential Information except with the Disclosing Party's prior consent.

 

The obligations under this section shall not apply to the disclosure or use of Confidential Information that (i) is or becomes publicly known by some means other than by breach of this section or by some other action by the Receiving Party; (ii) is obtained without restriction by the Receiving Party on a non‑confidential basis from a third party lawfully possessing and lawfully entitled to disclose such information; (iii) is previously known by the Receiving Party as evidenced by written material containing such information; (iv) is at any time independently developed by the Receiving Party without use or reference to any Confidential Information; or (v) is required to be disclosed by a government or judicial entity having proper jurisdiction over the Receiving Party, provided that the Receiving Party promptly provides the Disclosing Party notice and an opportunity to seek a protective order.

 

Neither Party shall disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as required to do so by a government entity having proper jurisdiction over the disclosing Party.  The provisions of this section shall survive for a period of five (5) years following any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state of Georgia without reference to its conflicts of law principles.  In the event of any conflicts between foreign law, rules, and regulations, and Georgia law, rules, and regulations, Georgia law, rules and regulations shall prevail and govern.  Each party agrees to submit to the exclusive and personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of Georgia.  The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act shall not apply to these Terms.  The services provided by BOOKTRADES hereunder are controlled by U.S. Export Regulations, and they may not be exported to or used by embargoed countries or individuals.  Any notices to BOOKTRADES must be sent to:

XX.      FORCE MAJEURE

 

Neither Party shall be responsible for any failure to perform its obligations under these Terms, except for your obligation to pay for Services already provided by us, if such failure is unforeseeable by the affected Party or beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, such as acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, government regulations, labor strikes, embargoes, epidemics, war, terrorist acts, riots, insurrections, fires, explosions, earthquakes, nuclear accidents, floods, power blackouts, volcanic action, other major environmental disturbances or unusually severe weather conditions.

 

XXI.    ASSIGNMENT

 

You may not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations hereunder without BOOKTRADES's prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld.  Any such attempt is void.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar foreign statute (or any future United States or foreign bankruptcy law), the assignee hereof shall be deemed, without further act or deed, to have assumed all of the obligations of the assigning Party hereunder.  Any such assignee shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to BOOKTRADES an instrument confirming such assumption.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

 

XXII.   MISCELLANEOUS

 

These Terms (including any amendment agreed upon by the parties in writing) represent the complete agreement between us concerning its subject matter, and supersedes all prior agreements and representations between the parties.  If any provision of these Terms are held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.  A waiver of any default is not a waiver of any subsequent default.  The relationship between BOOKTRADES and you is not one of a legal partnership relationship, but is one of independent contractors.  These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
