Any termination under this Section 14.2 is effective on Reseller's receipt of Supplier's Notice of termination or any later date set out in the Notice.

• Reseller's Right to Terminate.Reseller may terminate the Agreement by providing Notice to Supplier:

    • Supplier ceases to carry on business in the ordinary course.

Any termination under this Section 14.3 is effective on Supplier's receipt of Reseller's Notice of termination or any later date set out in the Notice.

• Mutual Agreement to Terminate. The Parties may, by mutual agreement in writing, terminate the Agreement at any time notwithstanding the Term of the Agreement.
• Effect of Expiration or Termination.
  • The Term's expiration or earlier termination does not affect any rights or obligations that:
    • are to survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement under Section 3; and
    • were incurred by the Parties before the expiration or earlier termination; provided that if Supplier terminates the Agreement all indebtedness of Reseller to Supplier of any kind is immediately due and payable on the effective date of the Term's expiration or earlier termination without further notice to Reseller.
  • Any Notice of termination under the Agreement automatically operates as a cancellation of any deliveries of Products to Reseller that are scheduled to be made after the effective date of termination, whether or not any orders for the Products had been accepted by Supplier. Supplier may require, in its sole and absolute discretion, that all sales and deliveries of the Products that are still in transit on termination of the Agreement be made on either a cash-only or certified cheque or bank draft basis.
  • Subject to Section 6, on the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement, Reseller shall promptly:
    • return to Supplier the NFR Products at its own expense;
    • cease to represent itself as Supplier's authorized reseller regarding the Products, and shall otherwise desist from all conduct or representations that might lead the public to believe that Reseller is authorized by Supplier to sell the Products;

• Post-Term Resale Period.Subject to Section 7, on the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement, except for termination by Supplier under Section 14.2, Reseller may, in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Agreement, sell off its existing inventories of Products for a period of six (6) months following the last day of the Term (the "Post-Term Resale Period").
• Supplier's Buy-Back Right.Within ten (10) Business Days following the Term's expiration or earlier termination, Reseller shall Notify Supplier in writing of the SKU and quantity of all Products in Reseller's remaining inventory. On or before the fifth (5^th) Business Day after Supplier receives the Notice, Supplier may, in its sole discretion, offer to purchase all or a portion of any remaining inventory at a price equal to the lesser of Reseller's cost therefor and Supplier's then prevailing reseller price. Reseller must accept Supplier's offer and promptly deliver, at Reseller's expense, the ordered Products to Supplier's designated carrier for delivery to Supplier. Repurchased Products must be returned in their original packaging, unopened and undamaged. Supplier shall pay the repurchase price to Reseller either by:
  • the issuance of a credit against any indebtedness of Reseller to Supplier; or
  • if the repurchase price exceeds the indebtedness, by payment of the excess to Reseller within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to Supplier.
• End of Term Purchase Restrictions.During the Term's last three (3) months, Reseller shall purchase Products in quantities that are no greater than an amount that Reseller reasonably determines is necessary to meet End Customer demand in that period.

Confidential Information excludes information that, at the time of disclosure:
      • is or becomes generally available to and known by the public other than as a result of, directly or indirectly, any breach of this Section 15 by Receiving Party or any of its Representatives;
      • is or becomes available to Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third-party source; provided that such third party is not and was not prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information;
      • was known by or in the possession of Receiving Party or its Representatives before being disclosed by or on behalf of Disclosing Party;
      • was or is independently developed by Receiving Party without reference to or use of, in whole or in part, any of Disclosing Party's Confidential Information; or
      • must be disclosed under applicable Law.

Receiving Party shall, notwithstanding the termination or expiration of the Agreement, for so long as such information remains Confidential Information:

• protect and safeguard the confidentiality of Disclosing Party's Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as Receiving Party would protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care;
• not use Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, or permit it to be accessed or used, for any purpose other than to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under the Agreement; and
• not disclose any such Confidential Information to any Person, except to Receiving Party's Representatives who must know the Confidential Information to assist Receiving Party, or act on its behalf, to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under the Agreement.

Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 15 caused by any of its Representatives. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason. On the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement or at any time during or after the Term, at Disclosing Party's written request, Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, under Section 14.5, promptly destroy all Confidential Information including copies that it has received under the Agreement.

In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Section 15 and those of any other provision in the Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Section 15 will prevail.

  • Equitable Remedies.Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 13 and Section 15 would give rise to irreparable harm to the other Party for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and (b) in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such Party of any of these obligations, the other Party shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to such Party at Law, at equity or otherwise in respect of this breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, and without any requirement to prove actual damages or that monetary damages do not afford an adequate remedy.
