Confidentiality/Nondisclosure Employee covenants and agrees that any and all information concerning the customers, businesses and services of the Corporation of which he has knowledge or access as a result of his association with the Corporation in any capacity, shall be deemed confidential in nature and shall not, without the proper written consent of the Corporation, be directly or indirectly used, disseminated, disclosed or published by Employee to third parties other than in connection with the usual conduct of the business of the Corporation. Such information shall expressly include, but shall not be limited to, information concerning the Corporation’s trade secrets, business operations, business records, customer lists or other customer information. Upon termination of employment Employee shall deliver to the Corporation all originals and copies of documents, forms, records or other information, in whatever form it may exist, concerning the Corporation or its business, customers, products or services. In construing this provision it is agreed that it shall be interpreted broadly so as to provide the Corporation with the maximum protection. This Section 11 shall not be applicable to any information which, through no misconduct or negligence of Employee, has previously been disclosed to the public by anyone other than Employee.
Confidentiality; Non-Disclosure The State shall exercise at least the same degree of care to safeguard any trade secrets or confidential information of Contractor as the State does its own property of a similar nature and shall take reasonable steps to ensure that neither the confidential information of Contractor nor any part of it will be disclosed for reasons other than its own business interests. Such prohibition on disclosures does not apply to disclosures by the State to its employees, agents or representatives, provided such disclosures are reasonably necessary to the State’s use of the Deliverable, and provided further that the State will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Deliverable is not disclosed by such parties in contravention of this Contract. The State’s performance of the requirements of this Section shall be subject to the State of Connecticut Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"). All Records, Client Agency Data, and any Data owned by the State in any form, in the possession of the Contractor or Contractor Parties, whether uploaded, collected, stored, held, hosted, located or utilized by Contractor and Contractor Parties directly or indirectly, must remain within the continental United States.
Confidentiality/Trade Secrets The Executive acknowledges that his position with the Company is one of the highest trust and confidence both by reason of his position and by reason of his access to and contact with the trade secrets and confidential and proprietary business information of the Company. Both during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter, the Executive covenants and agrees as follows:
Confidentiality; Publicity In furtherance of the confidentiality restrictions set forth in Sections 4.2 and 9.1(d), prior to the Closing (and for an additional twelve (12) month period after Closing as it relates to information related to any assets other than the assets of the Company, including any assets of Seller or any of its Affiliates other than the Company) and after any termination of this Agreement, as applicable, Buyer shall hold, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective representatives to hold, in confidence, all confidential documents and information concerning Seller and the Company furnished to Buyer or its representatives in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the manner specified in the Confidentiality Agreement. After Closing, Seller shall hold, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective representatives to hold, in confidence, all confidential documents and information concerning the Company known or held by Seller, Seller’s Affiliates or their representatives, in the same manner and terms as specified in the confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations of the “Recipient” (as such term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) as set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, mutatis mutandis as if Buyer were the party disclosing confidential information thereunder, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Confidentiality Agreement or this Section 9.5, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, no Party shall issue any press release or make any announcement to the general public pertaining to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise disclose the existence of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to any Third Party, except (a) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, in which case the Party proposing to issue such press release or make such public announcement or make such disclosure shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other Party before issuing any such press releases or making any such announcements or disclosures to the general public, (b) in connection with the procurement of any necessary consents, approvals, payoff letters, and financing in connection with this transaction, and similar documentation and (c) that each Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement to their respective current and prospective debt and equity investors, accountants, legal counsel and other representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses; provided that such persons agree to keep the terms of this Agreement strictly confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent applicable, each Party and its direct and indirect equityholders and their respective Affiliates may disclose to their direct and indirect limited partners and members such information as is customarily provided to current or prospective limited partners in private equity funds or other similar financial investment funds; provided further, however, that, with respect to Seller, Seller’s Affiliates or their representatives, the foregoing obligation of confidence shall not apply to the extent necessary to enforce the Seller’s rights or make any claims under this Agreement and/or any Related Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller and its Controlled Affiliates may disclose information that is subject to the confidentiality obligations under this Section 9.5 to actual and potential debt and equity investors (and their representatives) in connection with ordinary course fundraising activities of Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates (subject to such recipients thereof being bound by customary confidentiality obligations with respect thereto).
Confidentiality & Proprietary Information The Consultant acknowledges that it will be necessary for the Client to disclose certain confidential and proprietary information to the Consultant in order for the Consultant to perform their duties under this Agreement. The Consultant acknowledges that disclosure to a third (3rd) party or misuse of this proprietary or confidential information would irreparably harm the Client. Accordingly, the Consultant will not disclose or use, either during or after the term of this Agreement, any proprietary or confidential information of the Client without the Client's prior written permission except to the extent necessary to perform the Services on the Client's behalf. Proprietary or confidential information includes, but is not limited to:
Confidentiality; Non-Disparagement (a) Except to the extent required by law, including SEC disclosure requirements, the Employee agrees that the terms of this Release will be kept confidential by Employee, except that Employee may advise his or her family and confidential advisors.
Confidentiality; Non-Competition As a material inducement to cause the Company to enter into the Agreement, the Employee hereby covenants and agrees that:
Confidentiality of Proprietary Information Employee agrees, during or after the term of this employment, not to reveal confidential information, or trade secrets to any person, firm, corporation, or entity. Should Employee reveal or threaten to reveal this information, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Employee from disclosing same, or from rendering any services to any entity to whom said information has been or is threatened to be disclosed. The right to secure an injunction is not exclusive, and the Company may pursue any other remedies it has against the Employee for a breach or threatened breach of this condition, including the recovery of damages from the Employee.
Confidentiality Publication (a) Background Intellectual Property and Project Intellectual Property of a party, as well as other proprietary or confidential information of a party, disclosed by that party to the other in connection with this STTR project shall be received and held in confidence by the receiving party and, except with the consent of the disclosing party or as permitted under this Agreement, neither used by the receiving party nor disclosed by the receiving party to others, provided that the receiving party has notice that such information is regarded by the disclosing party as proprietary or confidential. However, these confidentiality obligations shall not apply to use or disclosure by the receiving party after such information is or becomes known to the public without breach of this provision or is or becomes known to the receiving party from a source reasonably believed to be independent of the disclosing party or is developed by or for the receiving party independently of its disclosure by the disclosing party.
Confidentiality of Vendor Data Vendor understands and agrees that by signing this Agreement, all Vendor Data is hereby released to TIPS, TIPS Members, and TIPS third-party administrators to effectuate Vendor’s TIPS Contract except as provided for herein. The Parties agree that Vendor Data is accessible by all TIPS Members as if submitted directly to that TIPS Member Customer for purchase consideration. If Vendor otherwise considers any portion of Vendor’s Data to be confidential and not subject to public disclosure pursuant to Chapter 552 Texas Gov’t Code (the “Public Information Act”) or other law(s) and orders, Vendor must have identified the claimed confidential materials through proper execution of the Confidentiality Claim Form which is required to be submitted as part of Vendor’s proposal resulting in this Agreement and incorporated by reference. The Confidentiality Claim Form included in Vendor’s proposal and incorporated herein by reference is the sole indicator of whether Vendor considers any Vendor Data confidential in the event TIPS receives a Public Information Request. If TIPS receives a request, any responsive documentation not deemed confidential by you in this manner will be automatically released. For Vendor Data deemed confidential by you in this manner, TIPS will follow procedures of controlling statute(s) regarding any claim of confidentiality and shall not be liable for any release of information required by law, including Attorney General determination and opinion. In the event that TIPS receives a written request for information pursuant to the Public Information Act that affects Vendor’s interest in any information or data furnished to TIPS by Vendor, and TIPS requests an opinion from the Attorney General, Vendor may, at its own option and expense, prepare comments and submit information directly to the Attorney General stating why the requested information is exempt from disclosure pursuant to the requirements of the Public Information Act. Vendor is solely responsible for submitting the memorandum brief and information to the Attorney General within the time period prescribed by the Public Information Act. Notwithstanding any other information provided in this solicitation or Vendor designation of certain Vendor Data as confidential or proprietary, Vendor’s acceptance of this TIPS Vendor Agreement constitutes Vendor’s consent to the disclosure of Vendor’s Data, including any information deemed confidential or proprietary, to TIPS Members or as ordered by a Court or government agency, including without limitation the Texas Attorney General. Vendor agrees that TIPS shall not be responsible or liable for any use or distribution of information or documentation by TIPS Members or as required by law.
