Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. 1833 (b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. 1833 (b). Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to authorize, or limit liability for, an act that is otherwise prohibited by law, such as the unlawful access of material by unauthorized means.
