This Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement (the “NDA”) may be used when sharing information with Continuous Compliance, LLC (the “Company”) before entering into a Beta Program Agreement, Subscription Agreement, or other agreement. To execute this NDA, contact legal@cyberillumination.us.

1. Confidential Information

“Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, including business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, supply chain information, and business processes. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure without breach of any obligation; (c) is received from a third party without knowledge of any breach of any obligation; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.

2. Obligations

The Receiving Party will: (a) use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely to evaluate or carry out the business relationship between the parties; (b) protect it using the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information of like kind, and not less than reasonable care; and (c) limit access to employees, contractors, and advisors who need to know it for that purpose and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as this NDA.

3. Compelled disclosure

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent compelled by law, provided it gives the Disclosing Party prior notice (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

4. Term

This NDA covers disclosures made during the two (2) years following its effective date, and the obligations of confidentiality survive for three (3) years after each disclosure. Obligations with respect to trade secrets survive for as long as the information remains a trade secret.

5. Return or destruction

Upon the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Receiving Party will return or destroy all copies of Confidential Information, except copies retained in routine backups or as required by law, which remain subject to this NDA.

6. No license; no obligation

No license or other rights are granted under this NDA. Neither party is obligated to disclose any information or to enter into any further agreement.

7. General

This NDA is governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, with exclusive venue in the state and federal courts located in Baltimore City, Maryland. It may be executed in counterparts. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
