the other ("Discloser") shall make use of the confidential information solely for the following
Authorized Purpose:

“To study a cooperation on the field of Smartcoat paint application using a drone or any other Parrot

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed as an obligation for
either Party to disclose any Confidential Information and/or to enter into any further business or
binding commercial agreement.

2. Confidential Obligation

commercial, financial information in connection with either Party’s products, software,

3.1 The Recipient shall protect any Confidential Information of the Discloser from any
unauthorized disclosure or use with the same degree of care, with which it protects confidential
information of its own, but not less than a reasonable degree of care, and take all appropriate

Discloser separate from other information, establish a custody system to prohibit access by
persons other than those who strictly need to access the information).
