Don't really understand this passage
Quoted right out of a term of agreement
:
"Your obligations under this Section 8 with respect to Software Products, Services Intellectual Property, and technical information will continue indefinitely; otherwise, confidentiality obligations under the Agreement will end three years after the first of date of disclosure."
What I don't understand is why the obligations under the agreement must end EVEN though it stated at the first part of the paragraph that the obligations should continue INDEFINITELY.
It sounds contradicting to me, anybody whos' got an idea about what it
actually means?Thanks!

Mister Micawber'Otherwise' sets forth an exception to the general statement.I know that.
I mean should the confidential information be leaked, wouldn't the agreement be annulled immediately? Three years seems like a very long stretch!
