Common use of Lock and Key Clause in Contracts

Lock and Key. The Customer commits itself to keep copies of the Software, crypto- graphic hardware components or other material safety provisions that are not (yet) deployed or no longer deployed with a Server and that are con- sequently unprotected by access restrictions to Servers (cf. 5.2.1) under lock and key. Likewise, access information for downloads and electronic transactions as well as activation keys, Subscription-binaries etc. are to be protected ef- fectively against unauthorized access or dissemination. The information and safeguards may only be issued to authorized staff who have been instructed as to the illegality of dissemination and the cre- ation of copies. Breaches of these lock and key requirements must be immediately re- ported to the Vendor.
