NEXT hereby grants to Learner a non-exclusive, non-transferable license (without the right to sublicense) to use the NEXT System™ solely for the Learner’s personal performance and well-being benefit gained from Learner’s use of the NEXT System™, all subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. The NEXT System™ is copyrighted and it is licensed to Learner under this Agreement, not sold to Learner.

NEXT is under no obligation to provide technical support under the terms of this Agreement and provides no assurance that any specific errors or discrepancies in The NEXT System™ will be corrected.
NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
“Confidential Information” means any and all information provided to Learner by NEXT, other than as specifically excluded below. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, The NEXT System™, promotional materials, business concepts and strategy, and other information regarding NEXT’s products, methods, processes, software, data, databases, tangible or intangible materials embodied in them or relating to them, including without limitation all raw, gross, or compiled statistical information, designs, inventions, specifications, formulas, algorithms, technology or services, NEXT’s actual or anticipated research and development, financial information, operational and technical information or other business information, trade secrets or know-how, NEXT’s Learners and all materials relating thereto.
“Confidential Information” does not include any information which, through no improper act or omission by Learner or any other improper means, (a) has become publicly known and is generally available; (b) Learner can establish was already in his/her possession at the time of disclosure of such information by NEXT or any NEXT representative; or (c) Learner can establish became available to Learner from a source other than NEXT.
Learner acknowledges and agrees that Confidential Information is confidential, proprietary and a trade secret and Learner will strictly maintain their confidentiality and will not, during the term and conditions of this Agreement or thereafter (a) use any Confidential Information for any purpose except for the personal performance and well-being benefit of Learner gained from Learner’s use of the NEXT System™; or (b) disclose, sell, copy, disseminate, publish, broadcast or reproduce by any means whatsoever, any Confidential Information to any other party without the express written consent of NEXT and the execution by that party of a like Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Intellectual Property Ownership Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Learner is requested or required in a judicial, administrative, or governmental proceeding or otherwise to disclose any Confidential Information, Learner will provide NEXT with prompt written notice of such request or requirement so that NEXT may seek an appropriate protective order.

Learner will be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any third party to whom Learner discloses Confidential Information in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
