Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is in Recipient’s possession at the time of disclosure; (ii) is independently developed by Recipient without use of or reference to Confidential Information; (iii) becomes known publicly, before or after disclosure, other than as a result of Recipient’s improper action or inaction; or (iv) is approved for release in writing by Discloser.

The obligations of this Section shall terminate (2) two years after Termination of the Terms or the most recent Subscription Agreement or any renewal thereof; provided such obligations related to Confidential Information constituting Discloser’s trade secrets will continue so long as such information remains subject to trade secret protection pursuant to applicable law. Upon termination of the Terms and any Subscription, Recipient shall return all copies of Confidential Information to Discloser or certify, in writing, the destruction thereof.
The Terms do not transfer ownership of Confidential Information or grant a license thereto. Except to the extent that another section of the Terms specifically provides to the contrary, Discloser will retain all right, title, and interest in and to all Confidential Information.
