The company discloses confidential information to a contractor or vendor for a defined engagement; the recipient agrees to protect it. Disclosure runs one direction. The company completes its block; the recipient fills their details, reviews the terms, and signs.
Confidential Information means the non-public business, technical, and proprietary information the Disclosing Party shares for the Purpose — including specifications, designs, processes, pricing, and anything marked or reasonably understood to be confidential.
The Receiving Party agrees to use the information only for the Purpose, limit access to its people who need it and are bound by similar duties, protect it with at least reasonable care, and make no copies beyond what the Purpose requires. It will not disclose the information to any third party without written consent.
These duties do not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of the Receiving Party, was already lawfully known to it, is independently developed without using the disclosure, or is rightfully received from a third party. Disclosure required by law is permitted with prompt notice. On request or at the end of the term, the Receiving Party returns or destroys all confidential materials. Money damages may be inadequate, so the Disclosing Party may seek injunctive relief in addition to other remedies.
Each signer has authority to bind their organization and agrees to the terms above. This is the entire agreement on this subject and may be changed only in a signed writing.
