To the extent any such non-personally identifiable data or information is collected or generated by Aviem, the data and information will be solely owned by Aviem and may be used by Aviem for any lawful business purpose without a duty of accounting to You, provided that the data and information is used only in an aggregated form, without directly identifying You or any other entity or natural person as the source thereof.
16. Confidentiality. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means the System and all Content, regardless of the form thereof, including all copies and extracts thereof.

You may disclose the Confidential Information only to Your employees, contractors and agents who have a need to know the Confidential Information for purposes of Your valid use of the System, or Aviem’s other services and offerings, and who are bound by an obligation of confidentiality at least as protective of the Confidential Information as this Agreement. You will treat all Confidential Information with the same degree of care as You treat Your own confidential information which, in no event, will be less than reasonable care. You will not utilize the Confidential Information other than as expressly permitted in this Agreement.
17. Disputes. Any and all disputes under or relating to this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Additional Agreement governing the access to and use of Aviem’s other services and offerings by the Aviem customer You represent, including any provisions setting governing law or venue, or requiring binding arbitration. Such terms and conditions are incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notices required or allowed under this Agreement will be provided to Aviem by postal mail to the address for Aviem listed on the System and Aviem’s website. Aviem may provide You with any notices required or allowed under this Agreement by sending You an email to any email address You provide to Aviem in connection with Your Account, provided that in the case of any notice applicable both to You and other users of System, Aviem may instead provide such notice by posting on System. Notices provided to Aviem will be deemed given when actually received by Aviem. Notice provided to You will be deemed given 24 hours after posting to System or sending via e-mail, unless (as to e-mail) the sending party is notified that the e-mail address is invalid.
19. ADDITIONAL TERMS. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both parties. All waivers by Aviem under this Agreement must be in writing or later acknowledged by Aviem in writing. Any waiver or failure by Aviem to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver by Aviem of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be removed to the extent necessary to comply with the law, replaced by a provision that most closely approximates the original intent and economic effect of the original to the extent consistent with the law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. You may not assign or transfer either this Agreement or any of Your rights or obligations hereunder (in whole or in part and including by sale, merger, consolidation, or other operation of law) without Aviem’s prior written approval. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Aviem may assign this Agreement to any party that assumes Aviem’s obligations hereunder. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” means “include,” “includes” or “including,” in each case, “without limitation.” The parties hereto are independent parties, not agents, employees or employers of the other or joint ventures, and neither acquires hereunder any right or ability to bind or enter into any obligation on behalf of the other. The System may contain links to third-party sites that are not under the control of Aviem. Aviem is not responsible for any content on any linked site and You access any third-party site from System at Your own risk.
