At Corpbiz, we majorly emphasize maintaining the confidentiality of the records and information provided by the Client. The key features of our confidentiality policy/agreement applicable to all the clients enrolled with Corpbiz are as stated below:
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
It is evident and agreed that Corpbiz’s client may provide certain curial information that is and must be kept confidential. Therefore, it agreed to ensure the protection of such information and to preserve any confidentiality necessary under patent and/or trade secret laws:
- The Confidential Information for the purpose of this confidentiality policy required to be disclosed shall include invention description(s), technical/ business information relating to proprietary ideas and inventions, ideas, patentable ideas, trade secrets, drawings, recommendations, precedents, policies, procedures, illustrations, patent searches, research and development, production, costs, profit and margin, financial projections, customer-client base, marketing, current or future business plans/ models, regardless of whether such information is designated as “Confidential Information” at the time of its disclosure.
- This Agreement states the two-fold purpose of the Confidentiality Policy. Firstly, it provides for the protection of confidential information of the clients engaged with Corpbiz. Secondly it provides the Corpbiz employees and personnels to be effective enough in sharing information/ knowledge, and therefore confidentiality is necessary as a condition of trust.
- Corpbiz shall limit the disclosure of Confidential Information as prescribed under the Confidential Policy within the directors, officers, partners, members, employees, and/or independent contractors (or affiliates) of its own organization, having a “need to know”.
- This Agreement does not impose obligation upon Corpbiz with respect to any Confidential Information (a) that was in possession of Corpbiz before receipt from Corpbiz’s client; (b) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge through no fault of Corpbiz; (c) is rightfully received by Corpbiz from a third party not owning a duty of confidentiality to the Corpbiz’s client; (d) is disclosed without a duty of confidentiality to a third party by, or with the authorization of Corpbiz; (e) is public knowledge or the information available in public domain; or (f) is independently derived from Corpbiz.
- This Agreement is made in conjunction with the agreement between Corpbiz and Corpbiz’s client concerning the disclosure of Confidential Information. Any further addition or modification to this Agreement must be made in writing along with the due signature of both parties.
- If any provisions of this Agreement become illegal, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction, it shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining provision(s) of the Agreement in that jurisdiction. Moreover, such unenforceable provision(s) shall be deemed modified to the limited extent required to permit enforcement of the Agreement as a whole.
- Corpbiz takes violation of this Confidential Policy seriously. Any failure, loss, or damage indirectly incurred due to any unauthorized activities conducted by Corpbiz’s client, as explained above, and may incur criminal or civil liability.
