1. This Agreement is effective on the date you accept it.
2. As part of your participation in the Program, you may disclose to Google, or Google may disclose to you, information considered confidential (“Confidential Information”).
3. The one who receives the Confidential Information may use it only for the intended purpose for which it was disclosed (“Purpose”). The one receiving the Confidential Information must use a reasonable degree of care to protect it and to prevent its unauthorized use or disclosure. Google may share Confidential Information with its employees, directors, agents or third party contractors who need to know it and if they have agreed to keep the information confidential. However, you may not share Confidential Information.
4. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) was known to the one who received it before it was disclosed; (b) is publicly available; (c) was rightfully received from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; or (d) was independently developed by the recipient. You or Google may disclose Confidential Information when compelled to do so by law if it provides reasonable prior notice to the other, unless a court orders that the other party not be given notice.
5. Either you or Google may terminate this Agreement with thirty days prior written notice (email is OK), but this Agreement’s provisions will survive as to Confidential Information disclosed before termination.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the duty to protect Confidential Information expires five years from disclosure.

9. This Agreement is not assignable or transferable by either party without the prior written consent of the other party.
10. This Agreement is the parties’ entire agreement on this topic, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements. Any amendments must be in writing. Failure to enforce any of provisions of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver.
11. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any dispute relating to this Agreement shall be Santa Clara County, California.

By agreeing to this document, you acknowledge and accept the above Terms & Conditions and the Confidentiality Terms as part of the GDG program.
