Intellectual Property. Nothing in this Agreement grants or is deemed to grant (a) to the Company, any right, title, or interest in or to any of Allstate Identity Protection’s intellectual property; or (b) to Allstate Identity Protection, any right, title, or interest in or to any of Company’s intellectual property.

-
Confidential Information. Each party (the “Receiving Party”) understands that the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) has or may disclose to the Receiving Party certain confidential information regarding the Disclosing Party’s business. If the Parties have entered into a separate signed Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement that includes the exchange of information related to this Agreement, the terms of such agreement are deemed incorporated herein and shall govern the exchange of any confidential information hereunder. If the Parties have not entered into a separate signed Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement that includes the exchange of information related to this Agreement, the following sections (a) to (d) shall govern the exchange of any confidential information hereunder.
-
Definition of Confidential Information. The term “Confidential Information” of the Disclosing Party shall mean any information, whether written or oral, provided by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party, that is identified by the Disclosing Party as being confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, including the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing) and any enrollment data provided by the Company. The term “Confidential Information” does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of any confidentiality obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was already known to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to its being disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party, (iii) is disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation owed by such third party to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party.
-
Protection of Confidential Information. Each Party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party agrees to use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) and agrees, except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, (i) not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement; and (ii) not to disclose or permit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party other than to its directors, officers, managers, shareholders, members, agents, or contractors who have signed confidentiality agreements containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein and to the extent reasonably necessary for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Receiving Party is required to disclose any Confidential Information in order to comply with applicable law or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, such disclosure shall not constitute a violation of this Section 2, provided that the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in writing as far in advance as reasonably possible of such required disclosure and only discloses the minimum amount of Confidential Information necessary to comply with such applicable law or final court order.
-
Duration of Obligations. The obligations of the Receiving Party set forth in this Section 2 shall last for two (2) years from the termination of the Agreement.
-
Destruction of Information. Upon termination of the Agreement or upon the Disclosing Party’s request for any reason, the Receiving Party will immediately (i) at the option of the Receiving Party, destroy or return to the Disclosing Party any and all Confidential Information, and the Receiving Party shall not retain any copy, compilation, summary, or other derivative work thereof or therefrom, and (ii) certify to the Disclosing Party in writing under penalty of perjury that the Receiving Party has fully complied with the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2(d); provided, that, nothing herein shall require Allstate Identity Protection to return or destroy any data it is required to retain to continue providing Services to its subscribers.

Limitation of Liabilities. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES, OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES BASED ON LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, FILES, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR OPPORTUNITY), WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

-
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement (each a “Dispute”), will be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration held before one arbitrator under the then-prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules and Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in force at that time. The arbitration will be conducted in Chicago, Illinois. The arbitrator will be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. The arbitrator will have the power to award no more than the prevailing party’s actual, compensatory damages in connection with any Dispute, and may not award damages in excess of actual, compensatory damages, such as by multiplying actual damages or by awarding consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages (collectively, “Enhanced Damages”), and the Parties irrevocably waive any claim to Enhanced Damages, except where such a waiver would explicitly violate applicable law. This section, regarding arbitration, will not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of arbitration under this Agreement with arbitration of disputes or claims of any party other than the Parties, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court which has jurisdiction over the non-prevailing Party. By agreeing to these arbitration terms, the Parties each agree to waive its respective right to go to court to assert or defend its respective rights. Company also agrees to waive its rights to participate in or bring class actions or class arbitrations. If any of the foregoing in this section is determined by a court or arbitrator to be inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to a Dispute, the Parties agree that, subject to the foregoing arbitration provisions, jurisdiction over and venue of any suit will be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Cook County, in the City of Chicago, Illinois. If either Party hires or employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any Dispute or lawsuit, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, as well as arbitration and/or court costs.
-
Representations. The Company represents and warrants that it has the legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that this Agreement is entered into by an employee or agent with all necessary authority to bind the Company to this Agreement.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois without reference to conflict of law principles that would require the application of any other law.
