For the avoidance of doubt, OX’s Confidential Information includes all non-public product features and information regarding pricing of its products and services. The Receiving Party will only use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement and will not disclose it to any third party, except to the Receiving Party’s and its Affiliates’ employees, directors, consultants, agents (collectively, “Representatives”) who have a need to know and are subject to non-disclosure obligations with terms no less restrictive than those herein.
