Nothing in this Agreement requires the disclosure of any Confidential Information, which shall be disclosed, if at all, solely at Zibra AI option. Nothing in this Agreement requires Zibra AI to proceed with any transaction in connection with which the Confidential Information may be disclosed.

In the event that You or any person to whom You or Your representatives transmit or have transmitted the Confidential Information becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or otherwise) to disclose any such Confidential Information, You shall provide Zibra AI with prompt written notice so that Zibra AI may seek a protective order or another appropriate remedy, or both, or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.
