All Confidential Information, including copies made by Recipient, will remain the property of Discloser. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any other provisions, a breach of this Section 6 may cause the Discloser irreparable harm for which recovery of money damages might be inadequate, and that Discloser shall therefore be entitled to seek timely injunctive relief, without posting bond, to protect its rights under these Terms, in addition to any and all remedies available at law.
