Notes, documents, summaries, or reports that are prepared from Confidential Information shall also be considered Confidential Information. If a Party discloses Confidential Information of a third party or provides the other Party with access to a third party’s Confidential Information, then such third-party Confidential Information shall also fall under the protections of this Agreement. Confidential Information does not include information: (a) which is already in the public domain; (b) which was already in the possession of the Receiving Party prior to any disclosure; (c) which is revealed to the Receiving Party by a third party without breaching a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement; (d) developed independently by the Receiving Party without the use of Confidential Information.

Nothing contained herein shall prohibit either Party from disclosing Confidential Information (a) to their legal or other professional advisors as reasonably needed; or (b) where compelled by valid legal process such as a subpoena or search warrant. Provided, however, that the Party subject to such legal process shall notify the owner of the Confidential Information about the legal process as soon as possible so as to afford the owner the reasonable opportunity to object accordingly. The legally compelled Party shall only disclose the portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed and shall, if reasonably possible, inform the presiding tribunal or court that the requested information is the subject of a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
All Confidential Information shared or disclosed is done so strictly on an "AS IS" basis without any guarantee as to fitness for purpose or non-infringement. Each Party shall retain full ownership of their respectively provided Confidential Information notwithstanding disclosure to the other Party. Each Party receiving Confidential Information shall, upon request by the Disclosing Party, promptly return or certify destruction of the Confidential Information provided by the Disclosing Party.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any partnership or joint venture between the Parties.
The Parties acknowledge that a material breach of the provisions of this Agreement may result in significant and irreparable damages that may not be fairly compensable with monetary damages alone.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior written or oral agreements, proposals, and/or representations/understandings. In the case of conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements, terms, or provisions, this Agreement will supersede any such conflicting terms.
This Agreement shall commence as of the date stated above and shall remain in effect for a period of five (5) years. Provided, however, that the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions related to any Confidential Information that qualifies as Trade Secrets shall continue, surviving termination of this Agreement, for so long as they continue to qualify as Trade Secrets.
If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then said portion shall be excised and the remaining provisions shall continue to have full force and effect.
No failure to exercise or enforce rights under this Agreement shall serve as a waiver of future rights. All waivers must be in writing signed by the Party choosing to agree to the waiver.
Notices shall be served on each Party by way of their signatory to this Agreement and may be served via email as addressed below.
This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Parties, their officers, performers, legal successors, or permitted assigns.

The Agreement cannot be modified, and no modification will be effective, unless done so in a writing signed by the Group and Performer.
