In the event the confidential information must be disclosed pursuant to judicial order or requirement of law, the Party to whom such order is directed shall immediately notify the other Party of such order or requirement and shall take all reasonable steps to limit such disclosure, and vice versa.

The WEMA ARC shall not disclose or communicate confidential information except to their employees who have a need to know the confidential information and any third party mutually authorised by the Parties, in writing, to receive the confidential information.

The WEMA ARC also agrees not to duplicate or distribute or permit others to duplicate or distribute any material contained herein without your company’s express written consent.
