- Each party may use the other party's Protected Information for the Permitted Purpose and may share that information with its employees, provided that any such person is under confidentiality obligations equivalent to those set out in this agreement.
- A party must not, directly or indirectly, disclose, publish, release or make available any Protected Information of the other party (and must not approve any such disclosure, publication, release or making available), except to the extent that this agreement specifically allows it.’
- A party must not use Protected Information of the other party for any purpose other than the Permitted Purpose. In particular, a party must not use Protected Information of the other party for any unlawful purpose, or for a competitive advantage.
- A party must not make any copies or reproductions of the other party's Protected Information, whether in printed, electronic, hardcopy, softcopy or other form.
- Each party must implement reasonable security measures for the storage and handling of the other party's Protected Information, and must ensure that the security measures are at least as good as those implemented for equivalent information of its own.
- A party must immediately notify the other party if it becomes aware of any disclosure or use of Protected Information that is contrary to the terms and conditions of this agreement.
This agreement starts on the date of application of the DSN member and remains in effect indefinitely, until the member is no longer part of the DNS network.
