Company acknowledges that other participants in the Reset Digital Platform may have access to information related to Company that is presented in the Reset Digital platform itself as part of the standard functionality of the Reset Digital platform (e.g., buyers have access to information about the inventory they purchase (including the URL and price paid), and sellers have access to information about the advertisers who purchase their inventory).

Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Reset Digital and its directors, officers, employees and agents, its and their respective successors, heirs and assigns, and other customers of the Services (e.g., advertisers, publishers, ad networks, ad agencies) (the “Reset Digital Parties”) against any liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by the Reset Digital Parties in connection with any third-party claim arising out of or relating to (a) any allegation that would constitute a breach of Section 3 or 7 of this Agreement, (b) Company’s use of the Service (not including claims for which Reset Digital is indemnifying Company), or (c) any allegation that any advertisement, website or other material provided by Company (including the ads, websites and other materials of Company’s clients) violates any applicable law or infringes any third party right, including but not limited to intellectual property rights.

12. CONFIDENTIALITY.
12.1 Confidentiality. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any information relating to or disclosed in the course of this Agreement, which is or should reasonably be understood to be confidential. The terms of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of each party (not to be disclosed by the other without the written consent of the other) and data regarding the performance of the Reset Digital systems is Reset Digital Confidential Information.

12.2 Injuctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that the unauthorized use, transfer or disclosure of Confidential Information will (a) substantially diminish the value of the disclosing party of the trade secrets and other proprietary interests of such party, (b) render the disclosing party’s remedy at law for such unauthorized use, disclosure or transfer inadequate, and (c) cause irreparable injury in a short period of time. If either party breaches any of its obligations with respect to the use or disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information, the disclosing party shall be entitled to equitable relief to protect its interests therein, including, but not limited to, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief.

In that case, the sending party will attempt to reach the receiving party by phone or other reasonable means.
