Confidential Information includes this Agreement and its terms. "Confidential Information" excludes information that (a) is publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party through no action or inaction of the Receiving Party; (b) is already in the possession of the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party, as shown by the Receiving Party’s files and records; (c) is obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without a breach of the third party’s obligations of confidentiality; or (d) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as shown by documents and other competent evidence in the Receiving Party’s possession.
6.2 Maintenance of Confidentiality.
