16. CONFIDENTIALITY

Through use of the iBASIS Site, iBASIS may disclose or make available to the User Confidential Information (as defined below) in connection with the activities contemplated hereunder. User agrees that during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter (a) it shall provide at a minimum the same care to avoid disclosure of unauthorized use of confidential information as is provided to provide its own similar information, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care; (b) it will use Confidential Information belonging to the other solely for the purposes of this Agreement and (c) it will not disclose Confidential Information belonging to iBASIS to any third party (other than its employees and/or consultants reasonably requiring such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement who are bound by obligations of nondisclosure and limited use at least as stringent as those contained herein) without the express prior written consent of iBASIS. User will promptly return to the disclosing Party upon request any Confidential Information of iBASIS. iBASIS will not monitor, edit, disclose, sell, rent, license, exchange, or release any of your personally identifiable information without your explicit consent unless iBASIS has reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary: (a) to conform to the edicts of law or comply with legal process served on iBASIS; (b) to prevent injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) iBASIS rights or property, other iBASIS users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities; or (c) to act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of the users or the public. If iBASIS transfers assets or has any change in control, user information may be transferred to the entity that acquires such assets or control of iBASIS.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means, with respect to iBASIS, any and all information in written, representational, electronic, verbal or other form relating directly or indirectly to the present or potential business, operation or financial condition of iBASIS (including, but not limited to, information identified as being proprietary and/or confidential, pricing, marketing plans, customer and supplier lists, service data, and any information which might reasonable be presumed to be proprietary or confidential in nature) excluding any such information which: (i) is known to the public (through no act or omission of iBASIS in violation of this Agreement); (ii) is lawfully acquired by iBASIS from an independent source having no obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information; (iii) was known to iBASIS prior to its disclosure under this Agreement; (iv) was independently developed by iBASIS; or (v) is required to be disclosed by governmental or judicial order.

17. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its choice of law provisions.
