Each party ("Disclosing Party") may disclose Confidential Information to the other party ("Receiving Party") in connection with the Service. Confidential Information is anything that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, as well as non-public business, product, product roadmap, technology, and marketing information. If something is labeled "Confidential," that is a clear indicator to the Receiving Party that the material is confidential.

Nothing above will prevent either party from sharing Confidential Information with financial and legal advisors; provided, such advisors are bound to confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those in these Terms. - Compelled Access or Disclosure:
The Receiving Party may access or disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is required by law; provided, however, that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled access or disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the access or disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to access or disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing access to such Confidential Information as well as the reasonable cost for any support provided in connection with the Disclosing Party seeking a protective order or confidential treatment for the Confidential Information to be produced.
