Any D·engage technology, performance information relating to the Services, and the terms and conditions herein shall be deemed Confidential Information of D·engage without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party shall
(1)Hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and
(2)not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement.

The Receiving Party may make disclosures to the extent required by law or court order, provided the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

14. MISCELLANEOUS

The TOU controls the relationship between D·engage and you. They do not create any third party beneficiary rights.
If there is a conflict between the TOU and additional terms, the additional terms will control for that conflict.

If you do not comply with the TOU and D·engage does not take action right away, D·engage is not giving up any rights that D·engage may have (such as taking action in the future).

If it turns out that a particular term of the TOU is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms of the TOU.

The the laws of the U.K will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to the TOU. All claims arising out of or relating to the TOU of the Services shall be litigated exclusively in courts of London, U.K, and you and D·engage consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
