2.1. Confidential Information

For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean any non-public, proprietary, confidential, or trade secret information, disclosed by Disclosing Party to Receiving Party, whether in oral, written, electronic, or other form, and regardless of the manner in which it is furnished, which is (a) marked as "confidential" or "proprietary," (b) reasonably understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, or (c) specifically identified as confidential in this Agreement.

3. OBLIGATIONS OF RECEIVING PARTY

3.1. Nondisclosure

Receiving Party shall maintain the Confidential Information in confidence, and shall not, without the prior written consent of Disclosing Party, disclose, copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, or otherwise disseminate any Confidential Information to any third party, except as may be necessary for the sole purpose of evaluating the potential business relationship between the Parties.

3.2. Non-Use

Receiving Party shall not use, whether directly or indirectly, the Confidential Information for any purpose other than the purpose for which it was disclosed, nor shall Receiving Party use or attempt to use the Confidential Information to compete with or otherwise harm the Disclosing Party or its business.

3.3. Protection

4. RETURN OR DESTRUCTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Upon the written request of Disclosing Party, or upon termination of the business relationship between the Parties, Receiving Party shall promptly return or, at Disclosing Party's option, destroy all Confidential Information in its possession or control, including any copies, reproductions, or other embodiments thereof, and shall certify in writing that it has completed the aforementioned actions.

6. NO LICENSE OR TRANSFER OF RIGHTS

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting, either directly or indirectly, any rights, licenses, or interests in or to the Confidential Information, except for the limited rights to use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose contemplated in this Agreement.

7. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the [district], or if that court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, to the courts of the State of [state].

10. AMENDMENTS

This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both Parties.

11. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
