In the event the Receiving Party is required to disclose such Confidential Information pursuant to law, regulation or court or administrative order, prior to making any such legally required disclosure, the Receiving Party shall notify in writing the Disclosing Party as soon as is practicable under the circumstances in order that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order.
The Receiving Party agrees that it will not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information except in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder and will not disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any third party other than its employees who have a need to know such Confidential Information and are advised of the terms and conditions of this Section and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Section. The Receiving Party shall treat and protect such Confidential Information in the same manner as it treats its own Confidential Information of like character, but with not less than reasonable care.
Upon written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall immediately cease its use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and within thirty (30) days either return or destroy (and certify as to such destruction) all Confidential Information, including any copies thereof. The obligations of this Section shall continue for a period of three (3) years after termination or expiration of this Evaluation Agreement.

The Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of any verified unauthorized disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, including any verified breach of security of the Services or Hosting Environment resulting in the unauthorized disclosure of Social User PII or Licensee Data. The parties will cooperate to implement prompt measures to mitigate further unauthorized disclosures. Wyng may, without Licensee’s consent, communicate with law enforcement personnel, service providers, insurance providers, and other relevant personnel to resolve or address such incident, but will not issue communications to Social Users without prior notification to and approval of Licensee (unless prohibited by law). Licensee will not make any public statement or issue any public communication regarding any incident described in this Section, without Wyng’s prior written consent, except as required by law.
