Confidential Information


In connection with its performance under this Agreement, each party (the "Receiving Party") may be supplied with confidential and proprietary information ("Information"), whether transmitted in written, oral, magnetic form or any other medium, concerning the other party by or on behalf of such other party (the "Disclosing Party"). Confidential information includes, but is not limited to, proprietary information relating to trade secrets, processes, pricing, products, sales, finances, business operations and marketing. Information may also include non-public, personal information ("NPI") relating to customers, applicants, policy owners, insureds and beneficiaries and to its officers, directors, representatives, employees and agents. NPI includes, without limitation, customer names, addresses, date of birth, phone numbers, social security numbers, account numbers, beneficiary information, marital status, race or ethnic origin. The fact that a person is a customer is also considered NPI. NPI also includes any list, description or other grouping of customers (and publicly available information pertaining to them) that is derived using any NPI.

Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) has become part of the public domain through no act or omission of the Receiving Party; (ii) to Receiving Party's knowledge, was lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party without restriction on disclosure by a third party (other than on behalf of the Disclosing Party); (iii) was developed independently by the Receiving Party; or (iv) is or was lawfully and independently provided to the Receiving Party prior to disclosure hereunder from a third party who to the Receiving Party's knowledge is not and was not subject to an obligation of confidentiality or otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information.

The Receiving Party shall receive and use the Information of the Disclosing Party solely for purposes of receiving or providing Services under this Agreement and for the work and transactions contemplated hereby. The Receiving Party shall not disclose any of the Information of the Disclosing Party now or hereafter received or obtained by it without the Disclosing Party's prior written consent; provided, however, that the Receiving Party may disclose such Information to those who require it to perform the Services. The parties agree to use reasonable precautions to protect and prevent the unintentional disclosure of NPI.

In the event that the Receiving Party is required by law or requested by any governmental agency or other regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory organization having jurisdiction or claiming to have jurisdiction over the parties) or pursuant to legal process to disclose any of the Information or NPI, the Receiving Party shall exercise reasonable efforts to provide the Disclosing Party with written notice of any such request or requirement, to the extent permissible and practicable under the circumstances, so that the parties may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and confer for the purposes of limiting any proposed disclosure to that which is required by law. Any Information which is given to the Receiving Party under the terms of this Agreement shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will return the Information and any non-public personal information upon the written request of the Disclosing Party.

General Provisions


  • Force Majeure. Neither party will be responsible for any failure or delay in its performance under this Agreement (except for any payment obligations) due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, terrorist attacks, epidemics, communication line failure, and power failures (each, a "Force Majeure Event"). The party whose performance is prevented, hindered or delayed by a Force Majeure Event will immediately notify the other party of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event and describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Force Majeure Event, and also promptly inform the other party upon the termination of the Force Majeure Event.
  • Notices. All notices between the parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if personally delivered or sent by certified mail (return receipt requested), electronic mail or facsimile, to the other party's current or last known address. Notices shall be deemed effective upon receipt if personally delivered, three (3) business days after it was sent if by certified mail, or one (1) business days after it was sent if by electronic mail or facsimile.
  • Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
  • Amendment/Waiver. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing that is signed by Licensee and Penn Mutual. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, except as specifically provided herein, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy.
  • Applicable Law. This agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to choice of law principles. Both parties agree that should any dispute between the parties result in litigation, either as a result of this contract or otherwise, that each waives the right to trial by jury. In all cases where a party seeks relief in connection with this Agreement in a court of competent jurisdiction, the exclusive forum and venue shall be federal court of the Eastern District of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the Common Pleas Court of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
  • Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.
    All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of a party hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of such party. Neither this Agreement nor any rights under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise transferred by Licensee, in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Penn Mutual.
