IN NO EVENT WILL NOTABENE OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF INCOME, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COVER, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, AND IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF NOTABENE OR ITS AFFILIATES TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES EXCEED TEN THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($10,000). THE FOREGOING SENTENCE APPLIES WHETHER ANY SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR FROM ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER NOTABENE OR ITS AFFILIATES KNEW, SHOULD HAVE KNOWN, OR HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR IF ANY REMEDY OTHERWISE FAILS IN ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THIS PARAGRAPH WILL BE ENFORCEABLE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS PARAGRAPH IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, WITHOUT WHICH THE ECONOMIC TERMS AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT.
9. Confidentiality.
“Confidential Information” means any information that you or Notabene (the “Discloser”) provides to the other party (“Recipient”), respectively, in connection with this Agreement or the Services, whether orally, digitally, or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be considered confidential given the nature of the information and/or the circumstances of disclosure. Without limiting the foregoing, the Services are Notabene’s Confidential Information. However, Confidential Information will not include any information that: (i) is or became public without any act or omission by Recipient; (ii) was lawfully known by Recipient without any restriction or confidentiality obligation; (iii) was rightfully disclosed to Recipient by a third party that did not have a confidentiality obligation; or (iv) was independently developed by Recipient without use of or access to Discloser’s Confidential Information.
The Recipient will maintain the Discloser’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, using at least the same degree of care as the Recipient uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature and importance, but in any event no less than a commercially reasonable standard of care. The Recipient will use Confidential Information solely as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and will promptly notify the Discloser if the Recipient discovers any misuse or misappropriation of Confidential Information. The Recipient will not disclose, or cause to be disclosed, any of Discloser’s Confidential Information to any third party, except to Recipient’s employees who are subject to written confidentiality obligations that are at least as protective as those herein and who have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information to perform under this Agreement.
In addition, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information if required by law so long as Recipient provides the Discloser (i) prompt written notice of such requirement prior to disclosure and (ii) assistance in obtaining an order to protect any Confidential Information from public disclosure, if applicable.

Where Notabene is a controller of End User Data, Notabene’s privacy policy at notabene.id/privacy-policy applies.

The parties unconditionally consent to resolve all disputes exclusively in a competent federal or state court in Kings County, New York, in the United States.
b. Equitable Relief. End User and Notabene acknowledge that a breach of any confidentiality or proprietary rights provision of this Agreement would cause the other party irreparable harm and significant damages for which there may be no adequate remedy under law. In such event, the other party will have the right to seek equitable relief or remedies, without posting a bond or other security, provided that such relief or remedies are not exclusive.
