In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information as required to comply with binding orders of governmental entities that have jurisdiction over it, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable written notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer acknowledges and agrees that CloudBees, its employees and agents shall be free to use and employ their general skills, know-how, and expertise, and to use, disclose, and employ any generalized ideas, concepts, know-how, methods, techniques or skills gained or learned during the course of any Services and performed under this Agreement.
