9.Protection of Business.

 

a.Confidential Information. Agent acknowledges that the following information, except to the extent that it is generally available to the public, is the property of PW, and Agent agrees that PW has a protectable interest in such “Confidential Information” as a result of PW’s investment in developing the information and the damage that disclosure would cause to PW’s business and competitive interests:

b.Non-Competition. As further protection of PW’s Confidential Information, Agent covenants that during the Term of this Agreement, Agent shall not provide services to or for the benefit of any Person that markets products or services that are competitive with Products or Services marketed by PW.

 

c.Independence of Agent Business. Except to the extent of duties arising from Agent’s covenants and undertakings in this Agreement, Agent will be independent of PW.
