A Contracting Party is obligated to use the other Contracting Party’s Confidential Information solely in connection with the performance of the subject matter of the relevant Agreement, solely in accordance with the purpose for which it was provided by the other Contracting Party, and the Contracting Party is further obligated not to disclose or make available the other Party’s Confidential Information to any third party without the prior, express, and written consent of this Contracting Party to any third party, with the exception of other companies within the Mibcon Group and/or other contractual Partners of Mibcon to whom Mibcon is authorized to disclose and provide the Contracting Partner’s Confidential Information in justified cases.

Upon Mibcon’s request, the Partner is also obligated to demonstrate that the Affected Persons have been duly bound by confidentiality obligations on its part.

3.6 In each individual case of a breach of the confidentiality obligation by the Partner (i.e., any of the obligations arising from this Article of the Terms and/or the relevant Agreement), Mibcon shall be entitled to a contractual penalty of CZK 250,000 for each individual breach and CZK 500,000 CZK for each individual breach, if the breach of the confidentiality obligation relates to a trade secret, unless otherwise agreed in the relevant Agreement.

Information that is not expressly designated with a classification level is automatically considered “Confidential” Mibcon information, which may be shared only for the purpose of fulfilling the delivery/performance of the Agreement.

The Partner undertakes to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse of such information.

5. Protection of Intellectual Property Rights
5.1 Development.
5.1.1. Given that the performance under the Agreement also includes performance which, within the meaning of Act No. 121/2000 Coll., on Copyright, on Rights Related to Copyright, and on Amendments to Certain Acts (the Copyright Act), as amended (hereinafter the “Copyright Act”), may meet the criteria of a copyrighted work or be considered a copyrighted work within the meaning of the Copyright Act or another intellectual property right (hereinafter referred to as “Copyrighted Works”), all rights to such Copyrighted Works, including any documents or materials comprising, capturing, or relating to the performance under the Agreement, shall be exercised by Mibcon to the maximum extent permitted by law as of the moment of their creation. If this is not possible, the right to exercise economic copyrights (hereinafter the“Assignment of Rights”) or, if the Assignment of Rights is not possible, a license or sublicense (hereinafter the “License”) is granted, assigned, or brokered (hereinafter the “Granting”) under the terms agreed upon further in this section of the Terms.
5.1.2 With respect to all Copyrighted Works created for the Partner as works made for hire pursuant to Section 58(1) or (7) of the Copyright Act, the Partner assigns to Mibcon the right to exercise economic copyrights to such Copyrighted Works, effective as of Article 5.1.9 of these Terms. Mibcon may further assign this right. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable and effective laws, the Partner represents and warrants that its employees or contractors waive all (current and future) moral rights or any other similar rights that may arise for them in accordance with such laws and in any other jurisdictions in connection with any works created in the course of employment that are part of intellectual property rights (now or in the future).
5.1.3 The Partner is obligated to refrain from any use of the Copyrighted Works to which rights have been Assigned pursuant to the preceding paragraph or for which a License has been granted to the extent that such License was granted, except for use necessary to fulfill obligations under the Agreement.
5.1.4 From the effective date of the Assignment of Rights or the Grant of a License to the Copyrighted Work pursuant to Section 5.1.9 of these Terms, Mibcon is entitled to use such Copyrighted Work for any purpose and to the extent it deems necessary, appropriate, or reasonable. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that Mibcon is entitled to use the Copyrighted Work in an unlimited quantitative and territorial scope, by all possible means, and with a time scope limited only by the duration of the economic copyrights to such Copyrighted Work, unless otherwise specified below.
5.1.5 Mibcon is entitled, without the need for any further consent from the Partner, to grant a sublicense to a third party for the use of the Copyrighted Work or to assign its right to use the Copyrighted Work to a third party.

5.1.7 The license to the Copyrighted Work is granted on a non-exclusive basis. Mibcon is under no obligation to exercise the License.
5.1.8 In the case of computer programs, the Assignment of Rights or License applies to the same extent to the Copyrighted Work in both machine code and source code, as well as to conceptual preparatory materials, including any future versions of computer programs provided by the provider under the Agreement. Mibcon has the right to receive the source code of the Copyrighted Work, as well as other parts of the provided software that are not Copyrighted Works. The Assignment of Rights or License also includes the right to changes made to the configuration or settings of computer programs and their transfer under similar conditions as in Article 5.1.5 .
5.1.9 The Assignment of Rights takes effect or the License comes into existence at the moment of transfer of the part of the Agreement’s performance containing the relevant Copyrighted Work to Mibcon; until then, Mibcon is entitled to use the Copyrighted Work to the extent and in the manner reasonably necessary.
5.1.10 The Assignment of Rights or Grant of License may not be terminated by the Partner.
5.1.11 For the avoidance of all doubt, the Contracting Parties expressly declare that if, in the course of performing the Agreement, a co-authored work arises from the activities of the Contracting Parties and unless the Contracting Parties expressly agree otherwise, it shall be deemed that, at the time of the creation of such a co-authored work, the Partner has assigned to Mibcon the right to exercise the economic copyrights to the co-authored work and has granted Mibcon consent to any modification or other intervention in the co-authored work. Remuneration for performance pursuant to of the Agreement is determined with due regard to this provision, and the Partner shall not acquire any new claims to remuneration in the event of the creation of a co-authored work.

5.1.14 The Partner is obligated to act in such a way as to secure the Assignment of Rights or Grant of License to the Copyrighted Work pursuant to the Agreement and the Terms, including the right to grant sublicenses and related rights, without prejudice to the rights of third parties, including any subject matter protected by third-party rights that the Partner intends to use or make available during the performance of the Agreement, with the exception of those items for which Mibcon is to obtain the necessary rights.Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partner is in any case obligated to obtain Mibcon’s written consent prior to using any item protected by any third-party rights. The Partner is also obligated to ensure that no third-party rights prevent Mibcon from exercising the intellectual property rights granted in accordance with this Article V.
5.1.15 The Partner declares that it is authorized to exercise, in its own name and on its own behalf, the property rights of authors to the Copyrighted Works that will form part of the performance under the Agreement, or that it has the consent of all relevant third parties to the Assignment of Rights or Grant of License to the Copyrighted Works pursuant to this Article; this declaration also includes rights that will arise upon the creation of the Copyrighted Work. The Partner is liable for any breach of its obligations under this Article.
5.2 Succession.
Rights acquired in connection with the performance of the Agreement shall also pass to any legal successor of Mibcon. Any change in the identity of the Partner (e.g., legal succession) shall not affect the authorizations granted under the Agreement by the Partner to Mibcon.
5.3 Cooperation.
Upon Mibcon’s request, the Partner is required to disclose the list of persons involved in the performance of the Agreement. The Partner is required to ensure that the persons involved in the performance of the Agreement cooperate to the extent necessary for the Partner to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement and the Terms. If it becomes apparent that the Copyrighted Work is encumbered by the rights of a third party—i.e., a person whose involvement in the performance of the Agreement was not previously disclosed to Mibcon or for whom the Partner failed to secure adequate cooperation—the Partner shall be liable for all resulting damages and is obligated to settle any claims by third parties at its own expense.
5.4 Source code
5.4.1 The Partner is obligated, no later than at the time of delivery of a part of the performance under the Agreement, to provide Mibcon with the source code for each individual such performance that is a computer program and that is provided to Mibcon pursuant to the performance of the Agreement. The source code must be executable in Mibcon’s environment and must allow verification that it is complete and in the correct version, i.e., allowing for compilation, installation, execution, and verification of functionality, including detailed source code documentation, based on which a typical qualified IT specialist will be able to understand all functions and internal relationships of the software and modify it. The source code will be delivered to Mibcon by the Partner in a suitable manner mutually agreed upon.
5.4.2 The Partner’s obligation set forth in Article 5.4.1 shall apply mutatis mutandis to any corrections, changes, additions, upgrades, or updates to the source code of individual parts of the performance that occur during the performance of the Agreement.

5.4.3 The Partner is obligated to provide Mibcon with the documented source code or documented change to the source code no later than on the day of delivery and acceptance of the relevant performance under the Agreement. In the event of early termination of the Agreement, the Partner is obligated to provide Mibcon with the current documented source codes and conceptual preparatory materials for all components of the performance so that Mibcon holds the source code for at least the version of the performance current at that time.
6. Liability for Damages
6.1 The Partner is obligated to use its best efforts to prevent damages (the occurrence of any harm) and to minimize any harm already incurred, whether on the part of Mibcon and/or its Customers and/or any third parties. To this end, the Partner shall exercise all due diligence, care, and expertise with which it enters into the Contractual Relationship with Mibcon.
6.2 The Partner shall be fully liable to Mibcon for any damage caused to Mibcon and/or third parties in the performance of the Agreement (and these Terms), including any fines imposed by public authorities and/or costs incurred by Mibcon in securing legal services. The Partner is obligated to compensate Mibcon for any damage caused by a breach of its obligations under applicable laws and/or the Agreement and/or these Terms, in the full amount (including both pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage) that was caused. This obligation to compensate for damage applies to damage that the Partner (directly and/or through its employees and/or through any third parties) causes to Mibcon, as well as any damage the Partner causes to a Mibcon employee and/or another third party, provided that such damage is claimed from Mibcon and/or Mibcon is obligated to pay for it. The Partner shall be fully liable to Mibcon for factual defects in the performance of the Agreement and the Terms and for legal defects in the rights and authorizations provided, including a breach of the obligation to secure all necessary authorizations to enable Mibcon to fully exercise its rights and enjoy the benefits of the Agreement (including any version, part, or element thereof) provided in the manner governed by the Agreement and the Terms, including the right to make changes or other modifications, even through third parties. The Partner declares that it is aware of its liability for factual and legal defects in the performance of the Agreement (or any part thereof).
6.3 The Partner agrees to provide Mibcon with all necessary cooperation to enforce (including asserting and protecting) or defend Mibcon’s rights to the deliverables created under the Agreement and/or the Terms, including intellectual property rights, against third parties, without any claim to additional compensation. The Partner undertakes, without undue delay and at its own expense, to secure the cooperation of the authors and creators who participated in the relevant performance under the Agreement and/or the Terms, if necessary to defend or enforce Mibcon’s rights pursuant to this paragraph.
6.4 If the Partner engages a third party (representative and/or employee and/or assistant, etc.) to perform the Agreement, the Partner shall compensate for any damage caused by such third party in full, as if the Partner had caused it itself.
6.5 The Partner may be released from the obligation to compensate for damage only if it proves that an extraordinary, unforeseeable, and insurmountable obstacle, arising independently of its will, prevented it from fulfilling its obligations under these Terms and/or the Agreement, and that such obstacle could not have been averted even with the exercise of all due professional care.
6.6 Damages caused to Mibcon and/or a third party shall be compensated in cash.
6.7 The fact that Mibcon and/or a person who is the Customer has approved and accepted any partial performance under the Agreement in no way limits the Partner’s liability for the proper performance of the entire Agreement and does not give rise to any liability on the part of Mibcon in this regard. Regardless of the moment of transfer of ownership of the performance under the Agreement, liability for the performance and its protection, together with the risk of its loss and/or damage or any other harm, shall pass from the Partner to Mibcon only upon the signing of the relevant handover protocol confirming Mibcon’s acceptance of the entire performance. The Partner is obligated to provide performance under the Agreement in a quality corresponding to the relevant legal regulations, Mibcon’s or the Customer’s instructions, and the agreed terms and conditions.
6.8 The Partner provides Mibcon with a warranty for the performance of the Agreement, specifically regarding the preservation of the agreed-upon characteristics and functionality of such performance free from defects, their compliance with the requirements of the Agreement and/or the Terms, the requirements set forth in legal regulations and relevant standards applicable to the performance of the Agreement, and for their usability in accordance with the purpose specified in the Agreement and the Terms.
6.9 The warranty period is 12 months and begins on the date of acceptance of the performance under the Agreement and/or a separately identifiable part of such performance. Defects in the performance shall be remedied by the Partner free of charge within the period specified by Mibcon according to the severity of the defect, specifically within a maximum of 1 business day (in the case of a critical defect that completely or partially prevents the use of the performance), within 10 business days (in the case of a material defect that significantly impedes the use of the performance), and within 30 business days (in the case of other defects), unless the Contracting Parties agree otherwise. The warranty period is suspended from the date of Mibcon’s notification of the defect. After the defect is remedied, the warranty period for the repaired performance under the Agreement is extended by the duration of the defect.
6.10 In the event that the Partner breaches its obligation to perform in accordance with the Agreement and/or the Terms, with the exception of breaches for which a contractual penalty has been agreed, the Partner shall be obligated to provide Mibcon with a reasonable discount in the amount of the demonstrable costs incurred by Mibcon in remedying the defect in the performance in question.
6.11 In the event that the Partner breaches its obligations under the Agreement and/or the Terms, particularly if, as a result of a defect in the performance of the Agreement, any third party asserts a valid claim against Mibcon, the Partner is obligated, in particular, to provide Mibcon with all possible cooperation and to immediately remedy the defect in the performance of the Agreement and/or to provide Mibcon with full cooperation in communicating with such third party.
6.12 No claim by Mibcon for compensation for damages under these Terms and/or the Contractual Relationship shall be affected by the Partner’s payment of a contractual penalty, and the contractual penalty paid shall not be offset against the amount of such compensation.
6.13 Contractual penalties claimed under the Agreement and/or these Terms are due within 30 days from the date the entitled Party sends a demand for payment to the other Party.
