The features and functionality of the Services, any Services documentation, the fees charged hereunder and any information regarding planned modifications or updates to the Services or other Company products and services constitute Confidential Information of Company.  

Each party shall keep and instruct its employees and agents to keep Confidential Information confidential by using at least the same care and discretion as used with that party’s own confidential information but in no case less than a prudent and reasonable standard of care.
