By enrolling in the Soft Launch you will have the ability to: (a) download, test, evaluate, and analyze the Experimental Software (b) and provide feedback, analysis, suggestions, and comments to ThredX (including, but not limited to, bug reports and test results) (collectively, “Feedback”).
By participating in the Soft Launch, you agree that ThredX may contact you from time to time about the Soft Launch, and you hereby consent to receive such communications. By participating in the Soft Launch, you also agree that any Feedback you provide will become the property of ThredX and you agree that ThredX may use or otherwise exploit all or part of your Feedback or any derivative thereof in any manner or media now known without any further remuneration, compensation or credit to you. You represent and warrant that you have the right to enter into this Agreement and assign and grant the rights set forth herein, and that any Feedback which is provided by you hereunder is original work made solely by you and does not infringe any third party intellectual property rights.
5. Confidential Information
The Soft Launch is designed to assist ThredX in researching, analyzing, and validating the usability and reliability of certain prospective product features (collectively, the “Purpose”). ThredX may disclose to you certain information (tangible or intangible) that you agree to treat as Confidential Information as set forth below.
Definition. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by ThredX, including, without limitation, documents, designs, techniques, specifications, product plans, strategic information, existing or prospective business plans, existing or prospective product study or pilot test objectives and/or results, and other information related to the Purpose (including its nature and existence, features, functionality, and screenshots). Consistent with the foregoing, ThredX may also disclose Confidential Information related to certain unreleased and experimental product features or plans.
Obligations Regarding Confidential Information. You agree to: (a) use Confidential Information only for the Purpose; (b) not disclose Confidential Information to any third parties (including the sharing of unreleased/experimental product images); and (c) use the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care (including reasonable security measures), to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination, or publication of Confidential Information as you would use to protect your own confidential information of like nature.
Remedies. You agree that any breach of this Agreement by you may result in irreparable harm to ThredX, for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, ThredX shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction, in the event of such breach.
