  1. RECIPIENT agrees that it will not disclose or use Confidential Information acquired from DISCLOSER, in whole or in part, for any purposes other than for the explicit Purpose as such term is defined herein. Without affecting the generality of the foregoing, RECIPIENT agrees that (i) it will not disclose any of the DISCLOSER’s Confidential Information to any third party; (ii) it will only use the DISCLOSER’s Confidential Information for the Purpose; and (iii) it will not use DISCLOSER’s Confidential Information for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third party.

 

  1. The foregoing restrictions on RECIPIENT's disclosure and use of Confidential Information acquired from DISCLOSURE shall not apply (proven to the reasonable satisfaction of DISCLOSER) to the extent such information (i) was known to RECIPIENT prior to receipt from DISCLOSER (ii) was public knowledge without breach of RECIPIENT's obligations (iii) was rightfully acquired by RECIPIENT from a third party without restriction on disclosure or use, (iv) was disclosed by DISCLOSER to a third party without restriction on disclosure or use, or (v) was independently developed by RECIPIENT relies as relieving it of the restrictions here under on disclosure or use of such confidential information, and provided further that in the case of any of events (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v), the removal of restrictions shall be effective only from and after the date of occurrence of the applicable event.

 

  1. The furnishing of confidential information here under shall not constitute or be construed as a grant of any express or implied license or other right, or a covenant not to sue or forbearance from any other right of action (except as to permitted activities here under), by DISCLOSER to RECIPIENT under any of DISCLOSER's patents or other intellectual property rights.

 

  1. This Agreement shall commence as of the day and year first written above and shall continue indefinitely with respect to any disclosures of confidential information by DISCLOSER to RECIPIENT.

 

Upon DISCLOSER’s request (at any time and from time to time), RECIPIENT shall immediately cease any and all disclosures or uses of Confidential Information acquired from DISCLOSER (except to the extent relieved from restrictions pursuant to paragraph 4 above) and at DISCLOSER's request RECIPIENT shall promptly return all written, graphic, and other tangible forms of the Confidential Information (including notes or other write-ups thereof made by RECIPIENT in connection with the disclosures by DISCLOSER) and all copies thereof made by RECIPIENT.

All Confidential Information (including, but not limited to, manuscripts, documents, electronically submitted material, and orally transmitted information, as well as any original writing requested by DISCLOSER) disclosed by a DISCLOSER shall at all times remain the sole and exclusive property of DISCLOSER and cannot be used by RECIPIENT for any purpose, financially or otherwise, unless explicitly authorized by DISCLOSER in writing. Thus, DISCLOSER is the sole owner of any and all material shared with the RECIPIENT. Without limiting the foregoing in any way, DISCLOSER shall at all times remain the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, title and interest in and to all of the DISCLOSER Works (as defined herein) and the same may not be used by RECIPIENT for any purpose other than the Purpose (as such term is defined herein). Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, in the event RECIPIENT claims any

right, title, or interest of any kind in any Confidential Information of DISCLOSER, RECIPIENT hereby automatically, by operation of this Agreement and without any additional consideration (i) relinquishes said alleged right, title, and interest; and (ii) transfers the same to DISCLOSER.

 

  1. Without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available to DISCLOSER, the RECIPIENT agrees that DISCLOSER shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction, if RECIPIENT or any party under RECIPIENT’s control breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this Agreement and that RECIPIENT shall not oppose the granting of such relief.

 

  1. No failure or delay by DISCLOSER in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege thereunder. This Agreement may not be modified or waived as to any provision except by a separate writing by the parties hereto expressly so modifying or waiving such agreement. This Agreement shall insure to the benefit of and may be enforced by DISCLOSER and any of its successors and assigns. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument and be binding upon the parties. If any suit or action is filed by any party to enforce this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees incurred in preparation or in prosecution or defence of such suit or action as fixed by the trial court and, if any appeal is taken from the decision of the trial court, reasonable attorney fees as fixed by the appellate court. This Agreement is governed by, and is to be construed in accordance with, English law. The English Courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction to deal with any dispute which has arisen or may arise out of, or in connection with, this Agreement.

I received a great service from Thesis Editor in proofreading and formatting for my master’s thesis. I personally like to thank Dr Judith Jackson-Pomeroy who was amazing in assisting me from the first call I made to thesis editor enquiring about the service they provide until the submission of my project. She took personal care in the service provided, it was professional and responded quickly to all my queries throughout, which gave me peace of mind and direction at such an intense moment of finalising my dissertation. The strict deadline with thesis editor got me working hard - around the clock, which was all worth it. I highly recommend thesis editor to anyone who is looking for proofreading and formatting service for their thesis - look no further!
