5.1 Defined. Each party (“Disclosing Party”) agrees that, in the course of this Agreement, it may, directly or indirectly, expose or provide the other party (“Receiving Party”) with Disclosing Party’s confidential or proprietary information, including, but not limited to: the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all trade secrets, inventions (whether or not patentable), intellectual property, software, computer programs, source code, object code, scripts, algorithms, features and modes of operation, techniques, processes, software design and architecture, design and function specifications, analysis and performance information, results of testing and benchmarking, documentation, details about products and services, product roadmaps, business plans, customer lists and customer-related information, financial information, proposals, budgets, as well as names and expertise of, and information relating to, vendors, employees, consultants, customers, partners, and prospects, know-how, ideas, and technical, business, pricing, financial and marketing information and strategies, and any other information that designated as confidential in writing or that Receiving Party reasonably should know is confidential or proprietary to Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”).

5.2 Non-Disclosure. Receiving Party will protect Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized disclosure and will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Receiving Party will only use Confidential Information as permitted under this Agreement and, except as otherwise expressly permitted herein, shall not disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity other than Receiving Party’s officers, employees, consultants, accountants and legal advisors who have a reasonable need access to such Confidential Information and have agreed to be bound by confidentiality or professional responsibility obligations that are no less restrictive than the confidentiality restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

5.4 Equitable Relief. The Receiving Party acknowledges that breach of Section 5 may result in irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party, the extent of which could be difficult to ascertain, and that money damages may be inadequate. Accordingly, the Disclosing Party may be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies, to seek equitable relief, including an injunction and specific performance, in the event of any attempted or actual breach of this Section 5, without the necessity to prove actual damages or post a bond or other collateral.
6. INDEMNIFICATION
6.1 Accruent Indemnification.

This Section states Client’s entire liability to Accruent, and Accruent’s sole remedy for any Claim for indemnification.
