Confidentiality Agreement

Confidentiality Agreement (NDA)
This Nondisclosure Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into by and

between _______________ with its principal offices at _______________
("Disclosing Party") and _______________, located at _______________
("Receiving Party") for the purpose of preventing the unauthorized
disclosure of Confidential Information as defined below. The parties agree
to enter into a confidential relationship with respect to the disclosure of
certain proprietary and confidential information ("Confidential
Information").
1. Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall include all information or
material that has or could have commercial value or other utility in the
business in which Disclosing Party is engaged. If Confidential Information
is in written form, the Disclosing Party shall label or stamp the materials
with the word "Confidential" or some similar warning. If Confidential
Information is shared orally or digitally, the Disclosing Party shall promptly
provide a writing indicating that such oral communication constituted
Confidential Information.
2. Exclusions from Confidential Information. Receiving Party's
obligations under this Agreement do not extend to information that is: (a)
publicly known at the time of disclosure or subsequently becomes publicly
known through no fault of the Receiving Party; (b) discovered or created
by the Receiving Party before disclosure by Disclosing Party; (c) learned by
the Receiving Party through legitimate means other than from the
Disclosing Party or Disclosing Party's representatives; or (d) is disclosed by
Receiving Party with Disclosing Party's prior written approval.
3. Obligations of Receiving Party. Receiving Party shall hold and
maintain the Confidential Information in strictest confidence for the sole
and exclusive benefit of the Disclosing Party. Receiving Party shall carefully
restrict access to Confidential Information to employees, contractors, and
third parties as is reasonably required and shall require those persons to
sign nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective as those in this
Agreement. Receiving Party shall not, without prior written approval of

Disclosing Party, use for Receiving Party's own benefit, publish, copy, or
otherwise disclose to others, or permit the use by others for their benefit
or to the detriment of Disclosing Party, any Confidential Information.
Receiving Party shall return to Disclosing Party any and all records, notes,
and other written, printed, or tangible materials in its possession
pertaining to Confidential Information immediately if Disclosing Party
requests it in writing.
4. Time Periods. The nondisclosure provisions of this Agreement shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and Receiving Party's duty to
hold Confidential Information in confidence shall remain in effect until the
Confidential Information no longer qualifies as a trade secret or until
Disclosing Party sends Receiving Party written notice releasing Receiving
Party from this Agreement, whichever occurs first.
5. Relationships. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed
to constitute either party a partner, joint venturer or employee of the
other party for any purpose.
6. Severability. If a court finds any provision of this Agreement invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall be interpreted so as
best to effect the intent of the parties.
7. Integration. This Agreement expresses the complete understanding of
the parties with respect to the subject matter and supersedes all prior
proposals, agreements, representations, and understandings. This
Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by both
parties.
8. Waiver. The failure to exercise any right provided in this Agreement
shall not be a waiver of prior or subsequent rights.
This Agreement and each party's obligations shall be binding on the
representatives, assigns, and successors of such party. Each party has
signed this Agreement through its authorized representative.
