- The Receiving Party, as well as all those who come into contact with trade secrets as intended, shall be obliged to treat the trade secrets as strictly confidential and to use them or disclose them to third parties and employees only if this is necessary in connection with the business purpose. In all other respects, the receiving party shall protect the trade secrets from disclosure to third parties.
- Objects as well as files or other incorporeal objects on which trade secrets are located shall be deleted or surrendered to the disclosing party without undue delay upon request of the disclosing party or upon termination of the contractual relationship at the latest.
§ 11 Final Provision

If you object to the change, the Agreement shall continue to apply unchanged and we shall be entitled to extraordinary termination of the Agreement with one month's notice to the end of the next calendar month. Changes and amendments to the Agreement that we wish to make due to changes in performance, remuneration or other commercial or operational requirements will only become effective if you expressly consent to them. This consent can be given by clicking a consent button in the change notice (email or pop-up as part of using our Services) or in any other simple & transparent way we provide for you. The text form also applies to an amendment of this form clause. The priority of individual ancillary agreements remains unaffected. The priority of individual ancillary agreements remains unaffected. The aforementioned deadlines do not apply and there is only a right to information about changes to the Agreement, provided that the changes are necessary to avert an unforeseen and imminent danger in order to protect you from fraud, malware, spam, breaches of data protection or other cybersecurity risks.
- Should one of the provisions of the Agreement be invalid or should the Agreement contain a loophole requiring regulation, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining or loophole provisions. In this case, the parties undertake to replace or complete the invalid or incomplete provisions with provisions that come closest in economic terms to the invalid or incomplete provisions.
