The System also includes goodwill associated with the Marks, trade dress, recipes, formulas, food preparation procedures, business methods, forms, policies, trade secrets, knowledge and techniques.
B. DAI, through a series of agreements, has granted others (“Franchisors” as further defined herein) the right to license the System to third parties (“Franchisees”) via a franchise agreement (“Franchise Agreement”).

Neither party shall have authority to make any statements, representations nor commitments of any kind, nor to take any action which shall be binding on the other party, except as may be expressly provided for herein or authorized in writing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a party as the agent or legal representative of another party, nor to constitute the parties as joint venturers, and no party has granted another the right to bind it in any manner or thing whatsoever.

a) disclose, publish, or divulge any confidential and proprietary information (as defined below in Paragraph 14.1) to any person, firm, corporation or other entity; or
b) use any confidential and proprietary information (as defined below in Paragraph 14.1), directly or indirectly, for Agency’s own benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity, other than for the benefit of DAI, the Franchisors, the SFAFT Foundation or SFAFT BV.
14.1 Confidential and proprietary information includes, but is not limited to: customer lists, lists of suppliers, products, recipes, formulas, specifications, food preparation procedures, devices, techniques, plans, business methods and strategies, organizational structure, financial information, marketing and development plans and strategies, advertising programs, creative materials, media schedules, business forms, drawings, blueprints, reproductions, data, Franchise Agreements, franchisee lists, mailing lists (including names, addresses and telephone numbers), business information related to franchisees, pricing policies, trademarks, published materials including the mark SUBWAY and variations thereof, documents, letters or other paper work, trade secrets and know-how, including similar information pertaining to DAI, the Franchisors, the SFAFT Foundation and/or SFAFT BV (“Confidential Information”).
14.2 Agency acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information was developed and designed by DAI, the Franchisors, the SFAFT Foundation and/or SFAFT BV at great expense and over lengthy periods of time, is secret, confidential and unique, and constitutes the exclusive property and trade secrets of DAI, the Franchisors, the SFAFT Foundation and/or SFAFT BV.
14.3 In the event that Agency is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any part of Confidential Information, Agency will provide SFAFT BV with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement, unless prohibited by law, so that DAI, the Franchisors, the SFAFT Foundation and/or SFAFT BV may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or receipt of waiver by SFAFT BV, Agency is nonetheless in the opinion of its legal counsel, legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, Agency may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such tribunal only that portion of Confidential Information which such counsel advises Agency is legally required to disclose.
14.4 Because of the unique nature of the Confidential Information, Agency acknowledges and agrees that any disclosure in violation of Agency’s obligations under this Agreement, or use of Confidential Information by Agency other than for the sole benefit of SFAFT BV, the SFAFT Foundation, DAI, the Franchisors or their affiliates and the System, would be wrongful, and would cause irreparable injury to DAI, the SFAFT Foundation, SFAFT BV, the Franchisors or their affiliates and that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate DAI, SFAFT BV, the SFAFT Foundation, the Franchisors or their affiliates for such breach. Accordingly, Agency acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any such violation, notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 15, SFAFT BV and/or DAI together with any of their affiliates is authorized and entitled to obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction. SFAFT BV and/or DAI may also proceed under Paragraph 15 to obtain an equitable accounting of all profits or benefits arising out of such violation, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which SFAFT BV, DAI or their affiliates may be entitled.
14.5 Agency agrees that it will not disclose Confidential Information to any other directors, officers, agents, and employees except those who need such Confidential Information to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Agency will only reveal or transmit the Confidential Information to such persons after advising them that the Confidential Information has been made available to Agency subject to this Agreement and such persons agree in writing to be bound by the Confidentiality terms of this Agreement. In the event that Agency is using a subcontractor, that in the course of its work may be made privy to Confidential Information, Agency shall inform SFAFT BV so that SFAFT BV may arrange for subcontractor to sign a nondisclosure agreement protecting Confidential Information, a copy of which shall be provided to SFAFT BV.
14.6 Agency acknowledges and agrees that all plans, outlines, sketches, copy, layouts and other property and materials, which are either produced by Agency or third parties under this Agreement, or given to Agency by SFAFT BV, a Franchisee, or any related person or entity, are and will be the property of DAI, and upon the termination of this Agreement, all of the property and materials which are in Agency's possession or control will immediately be returned to DAI or to DAI’s designee. The parties recognize that there may be certain circumstances where it will be appropriate and necessary for DAI to waive its ownership interest in specific advertising materials produced, created or otherwise utilized in an advertising campaign. If circumstances arise, and warrant that DAI waive this ownership interest in whole or in part, DAI may do so at its sole discretion and without waiving or limiting any of its rights in the future. Agency further agrees that upon the request of SFAFT BV, Agency will promptly return any written Confidential Information of DAI, the Franchisors and/or SFAFT BV, including all reproductions or copies thereof. Agency’s obligation to maintain the secrecy of DAI’s, the Franchisors’ and/or SFAFT BV’s Confidential Information shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
15. Dispute Resolution.
15.1 Except as provided in this Agreement, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled by binding arbitration, which shall be administered by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the United Nations Commission on International Trade Regulations and Law (“UNCITRAL”) Arbitration Rules administered by an arbitration agency, such as the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, an affiliate of the American Arbitration Association at a hearing to be held in New York, New York, USA. The arbitration will be conducted in English and decided by a single arbitrator unless the law of the country where Agency is located requires three (3) arbitrators. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. Except as provided in this Agreement, all parties must commence and pursue arbitration to resolve disputes before commencing legal action. If either party commences action in any court prior to an arbitrator's final decision on the controversy or claim, then the party so commencing the action will be responsible for all expenses incurred by the parties in the arbitration and the court proceedings, whether or not they are the prevailing party.
15.2 Notwithstanding Paragraph 13.1 above, DAI and/or SFAFT BV may bring an action for injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction to enforce trademark or proprietary rights, Agency’s warranty it will not provide services to competitors, or the restriction on disclosure of Confidential Information in order to avoid irreparable harm to DAI and/or SFAFT BV, their affiliates and the franchise System as a whole.
