Confidential Information encompasses, but is not limited to, business strategies, future plans, employee details, trade secrets, proprietary data, financial information, operational processes, client data, and any other information classified as confidential by the Disclosing Party.
2. Purpose of Disclosure
-
The Receiving Party hereby acknowledges and concurs that the Confidential Information is furnished exclusively for the purpose of enabling the Receiving Party to effectively understand, analyze, and contribute to the operational and strategic goals of the Disclosing Party.
-
This facilitation is crucial for the Receiving Party to assist in the enhancement of business processes, the formulation of strategic initiatives, and the achievement of the Disclosing Party's organizational objectives.
-
It is expressly understood that the Confidential Information provided under this Agreement is not for the Receiving Party's personal use, benefit, or for any other purposes that fall outside the ambit of their designated role or the specific project or engagement for which the information was disclosed.
-
The Receiving Party is obliged to apply the Confidential Information solely in a manner that is directly related to and in furtherance of the business activities and interests of the Disclosing Party.
-
Unauthorized use, personal gain, or leveraging of the Confidential Information for competitive advantage or for activities not sanctioned by the Disclosing Party are strictly prohibited and may lead to legal action or termination of this Agreement.
3. Obligation of Non-Disclosure
-
The Receiving Party pledges to uphold the secrecy of the Confidential Information and is explicitly prohibited from disclosing such information to any third parties, including but not limited to subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, or agents, without obtaining the explicit prior written consent of the Disclosing Party.
-
This obligation of confidentiality is designed to protect the proprietary and sensitive nature of the information being shared and is a testament to the trust placed by the Disclosing Party in the Receiving Party. The commitment to not disclose extends to all forms of communication, including oral, written, electronic, or any other means known now or invented in the future.
-
The duty to protect the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party's information is perpetual and survives the termination of this Agreement or the conclusion of the relationship between the Parties, without an expiration date. This enduring obligation reflects the importance and ongoing relevance of the Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party's business interests.
-
Exceptions to this obligation are narrowly defined and strictly limited to scenarios where disclosure is mandated by law or legal process, in which case the Receiving Party is required to promptly notify the Disclosing Party to allow for the opportunity to contest such disclosure or to seek an appropriate protective order.
-
The Receiving Party also agrees to implement reasonable measures to safeguard the Confidential Information from unauthorized access or disclosure, consistent with the care a reasonable person would use to protect their own confidential information.
-
In the event of unauthorized disclosure, the Receiving Party is required to immediately notify the Disclosing Party and to take all necessary steps to prevent further unauthorized use or dissemination of the Confidential Information.
