provided that the Receiving Party shall endeavour to give prompt notice to the Disclosing Party of any such requirement to disclose.
- Each Party recognizes that its disclosure of Confidential Information in respect of the other party may give rise to irreparable injury to the other party and acknowledges that remedies other than injunctive relief may not be adequate. Accordingly, without implementing the dispute resolution procedures described in this License Agreement to prevent the unauthorized possession, use, disclosure or knowledge of any Confidential Information, in the event of a breach, or threatened breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 8, Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek an interim injunction, interlocutory injunction and permanent injunction in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights, remedies or damages available to Disclosing Party at law or in equity including, but not limited to, specific performance and other such relief as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem just and proper, as well as such monetary damages as may be proven at law.
