3. Confidentiality

  1. You acknowledge that you may obtain access via the Website to certain confidential information of Tyfone and its suppliers and partners, such as technical, contractual, pricing, marketing, and other valuable information (“Confidential Information”). You agree not to disclose Confidential Information to any person or entity other than employees or contractors in your organization who have a need to know and who are bound by contractual obligations of confidentiality sufficient to give effect to this Section 3. Under no circumstances will you disclose Confidential Information to a competitor of Tyfone.
  2. You may use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of purchasing, maintaining, and supporting Tyfone products, and/or for marketing purposes if you are a Tyfone Technology Partner.

You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if Tyfone seeks such an injunction.
  5. Your obligations regarding Confidential Information expire five (5) years after the date of disclosure. Upon termination of your access to the Website or Tyfone’s written request, you must cease use of Confidential Information and return or destroy all Confidential Information.

You may disclose Confidential Information in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise required by law, provided that you give prior notice to Tyfone adequate to afford Tyfone the opportunity to object to the disclosure.
