These Terms permit you to use the Platform for your personal, non-commercial use only. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any of the material on our Platform, except as follows: (I) your computer may temporarily store copies of the Platform and Data in RAM incidental to your access and viewing of such materials; and (II) you may store files that are automatically cached by your web browser or other software used to access the Platform and/or Data.

Confidential Information does not include information that, at the time of disclosure, as demonstrated by documentary evidence, is: (I) in the public domain; (II) is known to you at the time of disclosure; (III) is rightfully obtained by you on a non-confidential basis from a third party; or (IV) is independently developed by you.

On the expiration or termination of these Terms, you shall promptly return to Nortis all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of Nortis’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed, provided that you may keep copies of any Derivatives created prior to such termination or expiration, subject to the requirements of these Terms. Your obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of your acceptance of these Terms.
