This Agreement governs Developer’s use of the Developer Tools, and is effective when the tools are delivered to you (“Effective Date”).
The capitalized terms that appear in these Developer Terms of Use have the meanings as in AuthX’s Terms of Use, unless they are defined in these Developer Terms of Use.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
The Parties may exchange certain non-public business information (“Confidential Information”) during the course of their relationship. Either Party may disclose or receive Confidential Information under these Terms of Use (each a “Disclosing Party” or a “Receiving Party”). The Parties agree that the Disclosing Party owns all right, title, and interest in and to any Confidential Information that it discloses to the Receiving Party.
Confidential information may include information regarding: (a) the intellectual property associated with the Parties’ products and services (“Intellectual Property”); (b) the Parties’ products and services; and (c) the Parties. Confidential Information includes information in the above categories: (a) whether or not the information is marked confidential; (b) whether or not the information is disclosed in written form or verbally; and (c) whether or not the information is disclosed before or after the Effective Date of this Agreement.

The Receiving Party will use the highest degree of care in protecting the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and will only disclose such information to: (a) the Receiving Party’s employees, independent contractors, service providers, and other persons and entities associated with the Receiving Party who have a need to know such information in order to perform their duties and who have signed agreements requiring them to protect third-party confidential information; and (b) persons and entities who the Disclosing Party agrees may have access to such information, provided the Disclosing Party agrees in writing. The Receiving Party is responsible for any violation of the confidentiality provisions of these Terms of Use by any persons or entities who receive any Confidential Information from the Receiving Party.
If the Receiving Party receives a valid government demand for the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, such as a court order, search warrant, or subpoena, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party (unless such notice is prohibited), and upon the Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party will provide reasonable assistance in maintaining the confidentiality of the information. If the Receiving Party discloses any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, it will only disclose the information strictly required by the government demand.
Upon the expiration or termination of the Parties’ relationship, or upon the Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party, at its own expense, will promptly return all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Alternatively, if the Disclosing Party agrees, the Receiving Party may provide the Disclosing Party with written assurance of the destruction of such Confidential Information.
You understand that AuthX does not wish to receive any Confidential Information that is not necessary for AuthX to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, AuthX will not treat such information as confidential.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
You agree that AuthX owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Developer Tools and the Products and/or Services, including all Intellectual Property associated with the Developer Tools and the Products and/or Services, and you agree not to do anything inconsistent with such ownership.
