For the avoidance of doubt, Generic Tools include Generic Judges. The parties acknowledge and agree that Company's other customers may modify (or request modification of) the Generic Judges in similar manners and nature as Customer and nothing in this Agreement prohibits such activities. Company retains all right, title and interest in and to Generic Tools and associated Intellectual Property Rights as may be made available to Customer under this Agreement.

In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement or is required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure and cooperates with the Disclosing Party if the Disclosing Party seeks an appropriate protective order.
+
+**INDEMNIFICATION.**
+
+**By Company**. Company will indemnify and hold harmless, at its own expense, Customer from and against any and all threatened third-party claim, proceeding, or suit (each, a "**Claim**"), and pay all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and other expenses (including attorneys' and expert witnesses' costs and fees), arising out of or relating to an allegation that the Platform, when used by Customer as authorized herein, infringes or misappropriates a third party's patents, copyrights or trade secret rights under applicable Laws of any jurisdiction within the United States of America.

+**Procedure.**  The indemnifying party's obligations as set forth above are expressly conditioned upon each of the foregoing: (a) the indemnifying party shall promptly notify the indemnified party in writing of any threatened or actual claim or suit; (b) the indemnifying party shall have sole control of the defense or settlement of any claim or suit; and (c) the indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party to facilitate the settlement or defense of any claim or suit.  The indemnified party shall not agree to settle any such claim without the indemnifying party's express prior written consent. The indemnified party may participate in the defense of the Claim at its own expense and with counsel of its own choosing, but the indemnifying party will have sole control over the defense of the Claim.
+
+**TERM AND TERMINATION.**
+
+**Term.**  This term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue in full force and effect, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Agreement.  Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Order Form, the Order Term will continue in full force and effect for one (1) year ("**Initial Order Term**"), unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Agreement.  Thereafter, the Order Form will automatically renew for additional terms of one (1) year (each, a "**Renewal Order Term**"), unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal to the other party no later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Initial Order Term or Renewal Order Term.
+
+**Termination if No Outstanding Orders.** If there are no outstanding Order Forms, either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the other. Neither party may terminate an Order once it has been executed, other than by mutual consent or termination of this Agreement for material breach as set forth below.
+
+**Termination for Breach.** Either party may terminate this Agreement or any Order immediately upon notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches this Agreement or the applicable Order, and such breach remains uncured more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach.
+
+**Effect of Termination.** Expiration or termination of this Agreement will automatically terminate all active Orders, but termination of a single Order will not result in termination of this Agreement or any other Orders. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or an Order all rights and licenses granted by Company to Customer under this Agreement or the applicable Order will terminate. Either party's termination of this Agreement is without prejudice to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, and does not relieve either party of breaches occurring prior to the effective date of termination. Neither party will be liable to the other for damages arising solely as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
+
+**Post-Termination Obligations.** Unless Customer terminates this Agreement for material breach, if this Agreement expires or is terminated: (1) Company will not refund Customer any Fees paid in advance of such expiration or termination, including pre-paid Fees; and (2) within ten days after such expiration or termination, Customer shall pay Company all remaining Fees set forth under any terminated Order Forms so that Company is paid the full annual amount agreed to at the commencement of such Order Term (as if the Order Term had run its full course). Within 30 days of the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer shall (i) cease all use of the applicable Services, (ii) permanently delete the Platform from the Customer Environment and any other applicable Services using secure deletion methods in accordance with industry practices (subject to any legally required data retention obligations of which Company is notified in writing and provided that the Platform continues to remain subject to confidentiality obligations under the Agreement, as applicable, or for any ongoing legal proceedings), and (iii) where requested by Company, provide written certification of such deletion to Company signed by appropriately qualified officer of the Customer. The sections and subsections titled *Definitions, Customer Restrictions and Responsibilities, Warranties and Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Confidentiality, **Indemnification, Effect of Termination*, *Post-Termination Obligations* and *Miscellaneous* will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
+
+**MISCELLANEOUS.**
+
+**Governing Law.** This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of [<mark>Delaware</mark>], without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction.
+
+**Dispute Resolution.**
+
+For any dispute between Customer and Company, Customer agrees to first contact Company at <mark>[Company Email Address]</mark> and to attempt to resolve the claim with Company informally.  In the unlikely event that Company has not been able to resolve a claim it has with Customer within sixty (60) days, the parties each agree to resolve such claim exclusively through binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association ("**AAA**") before a single arbitrator (the "**Arbitrator**"), under the Expedited Procedures then in effect for AAA (the "**Rules**"), except as otherwise provided herein, or as otherwise determined by the Arbitrator.  In the event of any conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement will control.  AAA may be contacted at www.adr.org, where the Rules are also available.  The arbitration will be conducted in [<mark>New Castle County, Delaware</mark>], unless the parties agree otherwise.  Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing and administrative and Arbitrator fees in accordance with the Rules, and the award rendered by the Arbitrator will include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The parties agree that the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the scope, interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable, or relating to any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, unconscionability, or estoppel.  The Arbitrator will also be responsible for determining all Company arbitrability issues, including issues relating to contract formation and whether the Agreement, or any provision of the Agreement, are unconscionable or illusory.
+
+Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be construed to prevent Company from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its data security, Intellectual Property Rights, or other proprietary rights; or as preventing Customer from asserting claims in a small claims court, provided that Customer's claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances on only an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
+
+**Severability.** If any provision of this Agreement or a portion of a provision is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement will remain enforceable.
+
+**Waiver.**  Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
+
+**Remedies.**  Except as provided in the subsection and section titled *Indemnification*, the parties' rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Customer acknowledges that the Services, Platform, Integration Tools, and Documentation contain valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of Company, that any actual or threatened breach of the sections titled *Ownership* or *Confidentiality* or any other breach by Customer of its obligations with respect to Intellectual Property Rights of Company will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to Company for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy.  In such case, Company will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief or other equitable relief without the requirement of posting bond, including an order that any Platform, Documentation, Integration Tools, or any portions thereof, that Customer attempts to import into any country or territory be seized, impounded and destroyed by customs officials.  If any legal action is brought to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to receive its attorneys' fees, court costs, and other collection expenses, in addition to any other relief it may receive.
+
+**No Assignment.** Neither party shall assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or its rights and obligations herein, without obtaining the prior written consent of Company, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void; provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or other operation of law, without any consent of the other party.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns.
+
+**Publicity**. Company may publicly list Customer as a customer of Company and, subject to Customer's brand guidelines, use Customer's trademark, trade name, and logo solely for marketing or promotional purposes.
+
+**Force Majeure.**  Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, pandemic, epidemic, quarantine, or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause of such delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.
+
+**Relationship of the Parties.** Customer's relationship to Company is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. Customer will not have, and will not represent to any third party that it has, any authority to act on behalf of Company.
+
+**Notices.**  All notices required or permitted under this agreement must be delivered in writing, if to Company, by emailing <mark>[Company Email Address]</mark>, and if to Customer, by emailing the e-mail address set forth on the Order Form, provided, however, that with respect to any notices relating to breaches of this agreement or termination, a copy of such notice will also be sent in writing to the other party at the address listed on the signature page of this Agreement by courier, by certified or registered mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested), or by a nationally-recognized express mail service.  Each party may change its email address and/or address for receipt of notice by giving notice of such change to the other party.
+
+**Precedence.** To the extent that a conflict arises between the terms and conditions of an Order Form and the terms of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will govern, except to the extent that the Order Form, expressly states that it supersedes specific language in the Agreement.  
+
+**Counterparts.** This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by email, or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
+
+**Entire Agreement.** This Agreement (including the DPA, Order Form(s) and any supplemental terms) is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matters. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of the Agreement. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, or any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized signatory of Customer and Company.

+**MUTUAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT**
+
+**This Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement** (this "***Agreement***") is entered into between <mark>[Company</mark>], a Delaware corporation ("***Company***") and the other party named on the signature page hereto ("***Other Signatory***") as of <mark>__________, 2026__</mark> (the "***Effective Date***"), to protect the confidentiality of certain confidential information of Company or of Other Signatory to be disclosed under this Agreement solely for use in evaluating or pursuing a business relationship between the parties (the "***Permitted Use***"). Company and Other Signatory may be referred to in this Agreement individually as a "***Party***" and collectively as the "***Parties***."
+1. As used herein, the "***Confidential Information***" of a Party will mean any and all technical and non-technical information disclosed by or on behalf of such Party (the "***Disclosing Party***") to the other Party (the "***Receiving Party***"), whether before or after the Effective Date, whether in oral, written, graphic, visual, electronic or other form, and which may include without limitation: (a) patents, patent applications including unpublished patent applications, and information relating to patent strategy; (b) trade secrets; (c) proprietary and confidential information, ideas, techniques, sketches, drawings, works of authorship, models, inventions (whether patentable or not), know-how, data, discoveries, developments, designs, processes, methods, assays, and tangible and intangible information; the identities, compositions of matter, structures or sequences of materials or any components thereof; processes, methods and procedures for the discovery, identification, modification, optimization, testing, development, formulation, synthesis or manufacture of any of the foregoing; apparatuses, equipment, algorithms, software programs, software source documents, and formulae related to the current, future, and proposed products and services of the Disclosing Party, such as information concerning research, developmental or experimental work, development, prototypes, current and proposed products and targets, design details and specifications, engineering, financial information, procurement requirements, purchasing, manufacturing, customer lists, business and contractual relationships, business forecasts, sales and merchandising, business plans, budgets, finances, unpublished financial statements, licensing, collaboration, development, manufacturing or strategic arrangements, prices and costs, suppliers, contractors, vendors, licensors, licensees and strategic partners, potential licensing and other business opportunities, the existence and terms of any business discussions, negotiations or agreements to which the Disclosing Party or its Affiliate (defined in Section 2 below) is a party, information regarding the skills and compensation of the Disclosing Party's and its Affiliates' employees and consultants, and marketing plans; (d) any data related to customers, investors, employees, or others; and (e) all other information that the Receiving Party knew, or reasonably should have known, was the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. The Confidential Information will include all such technical and nontechnical information of, or related to, the Disclosing Party, any of its Affiliates and any of their respective contract parties, stockholders or personnel. In addition, the existence and terms of this Agreement, including the existence of any discussions or negotiations between the Parties concerning a possible transaction or the status thereof and the fact either Party has disclosed Confidential Information to the other Party, will be deemed to be Confidential Information of both Parties.
+2. Subject to Section 3, the Receiving Party agrees that at all times and notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement it will hold in strict confidence and not disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except as approved in writing by the Disclosing Party, and will use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for no purpose other than the Permitted Use. The Receiving Party will also protect such Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care that the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no case, less than reasonable care. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Receiving Party will not: (a) file (or cause to be filed) any patent application claiming or disclosing any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (b) use (or allow any other person to use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to support any application for regulatory or marketing approval. The Receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to only those Representatives (defined below) of the Receiving Party and, if applicable, of the Receiving Party's Permitted Affiliates (defined below), who, in each case, (i) have a need to know such information for the Permitted Use, (ii) have been advised by the Receiving Party of the Receiving Party's obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) have signed confidentiality agreements containing, or are otherwise bound by, confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Receiving Party disclose or make available any Confidential Information to any Affiliate (defined below), or any Representatives thereof, of the Receiving Party without the Disclosing Party's express prior written consent (any such Affiliate of the Receiving Party with respect to which the Disclosing Party provides such express prior written consent, a "***Permitted Affiliate***"). The failure of any of the Receiving Party's Affiliates or any Representative of the Receiving Party to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be considered a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party. The Receiving Party will immediately notify the Disclosing Party in the event of any loss, unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use of, or any inability to account for, any Confidential Information.
+
+For purposes of this Agreement: (A) an "***Affiliate***" of a Party will mean any business entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with such Party (for which purpose a business entity will be deemed to "control" another business entity, if it owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities, capital stock, or other comparable equity or ownership interest of such business entity); and (B) "***Representatives***" of a Party mean such Party's or, as applicable, its Affiliate's(s'), officers, directors, employees, consultants and other authorized representatives.
+1. The Receiving Party will not have any obligations under this Agreement with respect to a specific portion of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if such Receiving Party can demonstrate with competent written evidence that such portion of Confidential Information:
+    1. was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party;
+    2. entered the public domain subsequent to the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party, through no fault of the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives and breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party;
+    3. was in the Receiving Party's possession free of any obligation of confidence at the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives and breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party;
+    4. was rightfully communicated to the Receiving Party by a third party free of any obligation of confidence subsequent to the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party; or
+    5. was developed by employees or agents of the Receiving Party who had no access to any Confidential Information, as demonstrated by contemporaneous written evidence.
+
+For purposes of clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3, no combination of elements within the Confidential Information will be deemed to be part of the public domain merely because the individual elements of such combination are part of the public domain, unless the entire combination itself, or the entire principle of or operation of such combination (if any), is part of the public domain. In addition, no element within the Confidential Information will be deemed to be a part of the public domain merely because it is embraced by more general information or data that is part of the public domain.
+1. Notwithstanding the above, the Receiving Party may disclose certain Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, without violating the obligations of this Agreement, to the extent such disclosure is required by a valid order of a court or other governmental body having jurisdiction or is otherwise required by law or regulation, *provided that *the Receiving Party provides the Disclosing Party with reasonable prior written notice of such required disclosure and at the Disclosing Party's request makes a reasonable effort to obtain, or to assist the Disclosing Party in obtaining, a protective order preventing or limiting the disclosure and/or requiring that the Confidential Information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the law or regulation required, or for which the order was issued; and provided further that any Confidential Information so disclosed retains its confidentiality protections for all other purposes.
+2. The Receiving Party will immediately notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any loss or unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use of, or any inability to account for, the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
+3. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, or upon written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly, at the Disclosing Party's election, return to the Disclosing Party or destroy (and certify in writing the destruction of) all documents and other tangible materials representing the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information (including all copies and summaries thereof, notes related thereto, records and other embodiments thereof, in any medium) in the possession of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, provided that the Receiving Party may retain an archival copy of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information for the sole purpose of complying with applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Any copies so retained will remain the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and will be subject to all confidentiality obligations herein; provided, however, that the Receiving Party may retain a single hard copy of the Confidential Information in the Receiving Party's secure archives for the sole purpose of monitoring compliance with its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed to require the Receiving Party to alter, modify, delete or destroy any electronic copy of files created automatically in the ordinary course of business pursuant to the Receiving Party's standard electronic back-up and archival procedures (a) so long as such electronic files are (i) maintained only on centralized storage servers (and not on personal computers or devices), and (ii) not readily accessible by the Receiving Party's Representatives (other than its information technology specialists), and (b) provided that all Confidential Information contained in such electronic files will remain subject to the Receiving Party's obligations under this Agreement.
+4. Confidential Information is and will remain the sole property of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party recognizes and agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as granting any property rights, by license or otherwise, to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, or to any invention or any patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right that has issued or that may issue, based on such Confidential Information, except as expressly set forth herein. Nothing in this Agreement grants the Receiving Party the right to retain, distribute or commercialize any Confidential Information, or to use it in any manner other than for the Permitted Use. Neither this Agreement nor the disclosure of any Confidential Information under this Agreement will result in any obligation on the part of either Party to enter into any further agreement with the other, license any products or services to the other, or to require either Party to disclose any particular Confidential Information. Nothing in this Agreement creates or will be deemed to create any employment, joint venture, or agency between the Parties.
+5. The Receiving Party will not reproduce the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in any form as required to accomplish the intent of this Agreement. Any reproduction by a Receiving Party of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party will remain the property of the Disclosing Party and will contain any and all confidential or proprietary notices or legends that appear on the original, unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Disclosing Party.
+6. Any ideas, suggestions, guidance or other information disclosed by the Receiving Party related to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information and any intellectual property rights relating to the foregoing will be collectively deemed "***Feedback***." The Receiving Party agrees to grant and hereby grants to the Disclosing Party a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free, worldwide license (with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses) to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale, sell, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, display, perform and otherwise exploit such Feedback without restriction.
+7. This Agreement will terminate five years after the Effective Date, or may be terminated by either Party at any time upon 30 days' prior written notice to the other Party. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for material breach of this Agreement by the other Party upon 10 days' written notice to the other Party. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any right or obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination. Each Party's obligations under this Agreement will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and continue for a period of seven years from the date of such expiration or termination, except that each Party's obligations thereunder with respect to information that constitutes a trade secret shall remain in full force until such information ceases to be a trade secret. This Agreement will be binding upon the Receiving Party's heirs, successors, and assigns.
+8. The DISCLOSING PARTY is providing Confidential Information on an "AS IS" basis for use by the RECEIVING PARTY at its own risk. The DISCLOSING PARTY disclaims all WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Disclosing Party makes no warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information. The Disclosing Party shall have no liability to the Receiving Party or any of the Receiving Party's Affiliates or their respective Representatives resulting from the Receiving Party's or its Affiliates' or Representatives' receipt or use of Confidential Information.
+9. This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed, controlled, interpreted, and defined by and under the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state.
+10. Each Party acknowledges that its breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the actual or threatened disclosure or unauthorized use of Confidential Information without the prior express written consent of the Disclosing Party, may cause irreparable damage to the other Party and hereby agrees that the other Party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief under this Agreement, without obligation of posting bond or proving damages, as well as such further relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.
+11. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a proper authority to be unenforceable or invalid, such unenforceability or invalidity will not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole and, in such event, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
+12. Neither Party will communicate any information to the other Party in violation of the proprietary rights of any third party.
+13. Neither Party will assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void, except that a Party may assign this Agreement without such consent to its successor in interest by way of merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. No permitted assignment will relieve either Party of its obligations hereunder. The terms of this Agreement will be binding upon assignees.
+14. The Receiving Party will not export, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired pursuant to this Agreement, or any products utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations.
+15. All notices or reports required or permitted by this Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered as follows with notice deemed given as indicated: (i) by personal delivery when delivered personally; (ii) by overnight courier upon written verification of receipt; (iii) by email (provided, however, if the sender receives an automatically generated notification that such email was not delivered, such attempted email notice will be ineffective and deemed to not have been given); or (iv) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, upon verification of receipt. Notice will be sent to the addresses set forth below or such other address as either Party may specify in writing.
+16. Each Party agrees that the data, software programs, hardware, prototypes, samples, materials and other tangible objects of the other Party contain valuable confidential information and each Party agrees that it will not: (i) modify, reverse engineer, decompile, create other works from, or disassemble, or (ii) disclose, upload, transmit, export or otherwise make available to any training, self-improving, machine-learning software, algorithms, hardware or other artificial intelligence tools or aids of any kind, any data, software programs, hardware, prototypes, samples, materials or other tangible objects contained in the Confidential Information of the other Party, in either case, without the prior written consent of the other Party. Except as necessary for the Permitted Use, the Receiving Party will not analyze, reverse engineer, create derivatives of, or otherwise attempt to determine the structure, composition or individual components of any materials, proprietary compounds, technologies, assays, or other materials provided to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party.
+17. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and supersedes all prior discussions between the Parties with respect to such subject matters. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by the Party to be charged.
+18. All references in this Agreement to the singular will include the plural where applicable. Ambiguities and uncertainties in this Agreement, if any, will not be interpreted against either party, irrespective of which party may be deemed to have caused the ambiguity or uncertainty to exist. This Agreement has been prepared in the English language, and the English language will control its interpretation. In addition, all notices required or permitted to be given hereunder, and all written, electronic, oral or other communications between the parties regarding this Agreement, will be in the English language.
+19. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or other applicable law) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

+**NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT**
+
+**This Non-Disclosure Agreement** (the "***Agreement***") is between **[<mark>___</mark>]** (the "Company") and the recipient identified on the signature page (the "***Recipient***"), effective as of the last date signed below (the "***Effective Date***"). **Each of the Company and Recipient may be referred to herein as a "***Party***" and, together, the "***Parties***".** The Company may disclose certain confidential information to the Recipient solely to [<mark>enable Recipient</mark> to <mark>evaluate or pursue a business relationship with the Company</mark>] (the "***Permitted Use***").
+1. **Definitions.**
+    1. "***Affiliate***" means, with respect to a Party, any business entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with that Party.
+    2. "***Confidential Information***" means any nonpublic information the Company (or anyone on its behalf) provides to the Recipient, before or after the Effective Date, in any form (oral, written, graphic, visual, electronic, or otherwise), that is identified as confidential (orally or in writing, and, where practicable for written or tangible materials, marked or otherwise designated as "confidential") or that should reasonably be understood to be confidential based on the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure.
+    3. "***Control***" means, with respect to an entity, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of that entity, whether through ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities, capital stock, or other comparable equity or ownership interest of that entity, by contract, or otherwise.
+    4. "***Representatives***" means that Party's (or, as applicable, its Affiliates') officers, directors, employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, and other authorized representatives.
+    5. "***Technology***" means any Company data, software programs, hardware, prototypes, and other tangible objects that the Company provides or otherwise makes available to the Recipient in connection with the Permitted Use.
+2. Subject to Section 3, the Recipient agrees that it will keep all Confidential Information strictly confidential, will not disclose it to any third party other than its Representatives in accordance with this Agreement except with the Company's prior written approval, and will use it only for the Permitted Use. The Recipient will protect the Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, and in no event less than reasonable care. The Recipient agrees that the Technology contains valuable Confidential Information and, without the Company's prior written consent, will not (i) modify, reverse engineer, decompile, create other works from, or disassemble the Technology, or (ii) disclose, upload, transmit, export, or otherwise make available any Technology or Confidential Information to any public or third-party machine-learning, or other artificial intelligence models, tools or aids, or use any Technology or Confidential Information to train or improve any such models, tools or aids (whether proprietary or third-party). The Recipient will share Confidential Information only with its Representatives (including its and its Affiliates' outside legal counsel, accountants, and financial advisors) who (i) need to know it for the Permitted Use, (ii) have been informed of the Recipient's obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) have signed confidentiality agreements, or are otherwise bound, with confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those in this Agreement. Any failure by the Recipient's Affiliates or Representatives to comply with this Agreement will be treated as a breach by the Recipient. The Recipient will immediately notify the Company of any loss, unauthorized disclosure or use of, or inability to account for, any Confidential Information. As between the Parties, all Confidential Information is and will remain the property of the Company.
+3. The Recipient will not have any obligations under this Agreement for any specific portion of the Confidential Information if the Recipient can document that the Confidential Information: (a) was publicly known at the time it was disclosed to the Recipient, or became publicly known after it was disclosed to the Recipient and not as a result of the Recipient's breach of this Agreement; (b) was already in the Recipient's possession, free of any obligation of confidence and without breach of this Agreement, at the time it was disclosed to the Recipient or any of its Representatives; (c) was lawfully provided to the Recipient by a third party, after it was disclosed to the Recipient, without any obligation of confidence; or (d) was independently developed by the Recipient's employees or agents who did not have access to any Confidential Information; in each case as shown by contemporaneous written records.
+4. Notwithstanding the above, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information only to the extent required by a valid order of a court or other governmental body with jurisdiction, or as otherwise required by law or regulation; provided that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Recipient gives the Company prompt prior written notice of the required disclosure and reasonably cooperates with the Company (at the Company's expense) in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or confidential treatment; and provided further that the Recipient discloses only the minimum portion of Confidential Information legally required to be disclosed and uses reasonable efforts to ensure that any Confidential Information so disclosed is afforded confidential treatment, and remains subject to the confidentiality protections of this Agreement for all other purposes.
+5. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, or upon the Company's written request, the Recipient will promptly, at the Company's election, return to the Company or destroy (and, if destroyed, certify in writing) all documents and other tangible materials representing any Confidential Information (including all copies, summaries, notes, records, and other embodiments, in any medium) in the Recipient's possession; provided that the Recipient may retain (i) copies required to be retained by applicable law or regulation, and (ii) Confidential Information that is maintained on routine, automatic backup or archival systems, in each case solely to the extent not reasonably practicable to delete and subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement for so long as retained.
+6. This Agreement will end five (5) years after the Effective Date unless ended earlier; provided that Recipient's obligations with respect to any Confidential Information that is a trade secret of the Company will survive for so long as it remains a trade secret under applicable law. Either Party may terminate it at any time upon written notice to the other Party. Any expiration or termination will not affect any rights or obligations that accrued before the expiration or termination. The Recipient's obligations under this Agreement will survive termination and will bind the Recipient's heirs, successors, and assigns.
+7. The Company provides the Confidential Information on an "AS IS" basis, and the Recipient uses it at its own risk. The Company DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+8. This Agreement and any related action will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflicts of law principles that would require applying the law of a different state.
+9. The Recipient acknowledges that any breach of this Agreement, including without limitation any actual or threatened disclosure or unauthorized use of Confidential Information without the Company's prior express written consent, may cause the Company irreparable harm for which money damages may be an inadequate remedy, and that the Company may seek prompt injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief as a court of competent jurisdiction deems appropriate, in addition to any other relief such court may grant.
+10. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other proper authority to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement will remain in effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be reformed and interpreted to best achieve its intended purpose to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision on one occasion will not be a waiver of any other provision, or of that provision on any other occasion. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement, or any rights or obligations under it, without the other Party's prior written consent; provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement without the other Party's consent to an Affiliate or to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, upon written notice to the other Party. Any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing is null and void. No permitted assignment will relieve either Party of its obligations under this Agreement. The Recipient will not export, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data obtained under this Agreement, or any products using such data, in violation of U.S. export laws or regulations. Any notice or report under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed given: (i) when personally delivered; (ii) by overnight courier upon written verification of receipt; (iii) by email, upon confirmation of receipt by the receiving Party (which may be by reply email); or (iv) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, upon verification of receipt. Notices will be sent to the addresses below (or any updated address a Party provides in writing). This Agreement is the parties' final, complete, and exclusive agreement on its subject matter and supersedes all prior discussions on that subject. Any amendment or modification must be in writing and signed by the Party to be charged. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which is an original and all of which together are one agreement, and counterparts may be delivered by email (including PDF or an electronic signature compliant with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or other applicable law) or other transmission method.
