Accuracy of Information Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Confidential Information is provided “as is” solely for the Permitted Purpose, and disclosure thereof shall not constitute any express or implied warranty or representation by the Disclosing Party regarding completeness, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose, without prejudice to each Party’s contractual liability for expressly assumed obligations. 10. Notification of Incidents and Breaches The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party, without undue delay, upon becoming aware of any unauthorized access, use, disclosure, loss, or breach relating to the Confidential Information, and shall take reasonable measures to contain the effects, mitigate damages, and cooperate in remediation efforts. 11. Remedies and Compensation The Parties acknowledge that breach of confidentiality and non-use obligations may result in substantial harm that may not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone.

Severability If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, unenforceable, or unlawful in whole or in part, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The affected provision shall be interpreted or amended to the extent necessary to achieve the legal and economic intent closest to the Parties’ original intent. 16. Amendments and No Implied Waiver No amendment, annex, or modification to this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by both Parties.
