5. Confidential Information

5.1 Scope. “Confidential Information” means all non-public information, including data and technology, disclosed by a party or its users (the “Disclosing Party”), whether written, graphic, or oral, to the other party  (the “Receiving Party”) that a reasonable person should understand to be confidential due to the circumstances of disclosure or the nature of the information  itself. Confidential Information excludes information that: (i) is now in the public domain or subsequently enters the public domain without fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) is presently known by the Receiving Party from its own sources, as evidenced by its prior written records; (iii) is received by the Receiving Party from a third party not under any obligation to keep such information confidential; (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without access or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (v) is released from confidential treatment by written consent of the Disclosing Party.

5.2 Obligation and Use of Confidential Information. Except as required or necessary for the performance of the Services or its obligations under this Agreement, the Receiving Party agrees not to disclose or use for any purpose any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will take all necessary and reasonable precautions to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information to any unauthorized third parties.

5.3 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is legally required by a court or regulatory body to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Receiving Party must, unless prohibited by law: (i) promptly notify the Disclosing Party (if time allows) before disclosing, so the Disclosing Party can seek a protective order or other remedy; and (ii) provide reasonable assistance to the Disclosing Party in obtaining such protective order. If the Receiving Party still must disclose the Confidential Information, it will only share that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally necessary and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that it remains confidential.

5.4 Injunctive Relief. The Receiving Party acknowledges that the use or disclosure of Confidential Information without the Disclosing Party’s express written permission may cause the Disclosing Party irreparable harm. Any material breach or threatened material breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party will entitle the Disclosing Party to seek injunctive relief and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in addition to any other legal remedies available to it.

Unless otherwise agreed in an Order Form, GC AI will invoice you through our payment processor (today, Stripe), and you shall pay such fees upon receipt of an applicable invoice from the payment processor.
