Non-Disclosure Agreement Terms

Definition of Confidential Information: For purposes of this agreement, Confidential Information means all non-public information disclosed or made available to Employee, whether in written, oral, electronic, or other form, including but not limited to trade secrets, technical data, product plans, software, business plans, financial information, customer lists, supplier information, marketing strategies, pricing, and personnel data.

Exclusions: Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no breach of this agreement by Employee; (b) was lawfully in Employee's possession prior to disclosure without restriction; (c) is independently developed by Employee without use of Confidential Information; or (d) is rightfully obtained by Employee from a third party without restriction.

Non-Disclosure and Non-Use Obligations: Employee shall not disclose Confidential Information to any third party, nor use Confidential Information for any purpose other than performing duties for the employer, except with prior written authorization. Employee shall take reasonable measures to protect Confidential Information from unauthorized disclosure, at least as stringent as those used to protect Employee's own confidential information.

Return of Materials: Upon termination of employment or upon employer's request, Employee will immediately return all materials, devices, documents and copies containing Confidential Information and will not retain any copies.

Residuals: Nothing in this agreement shall restrict Employee from using, in the ordinary course of subsequent employment, generalized ideas, skills, know-how or experience retained in Employee's unaided memory, provided such use does not involve disclosure or use of Confidential Information or trade secrets.

Remedies: Employee acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure may cause irreparable harm. Employer is entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance, and any other remedies available at law or equity, in addition to damages.

Term and Survival: The obligations of confidentiality survive termination of employment and remain in effect for the period necessary to protect the Confidential Information, and for a minimum of three (3) years from the date of termination unless a longer period is required to protect trade secrets under applicable law.

Governing Law and Severability: This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state specified by the employer in the signature block. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force.

Authorization & Certifications

Authorization to Verify: I authorize the employer to contact prior employers and references and to conduct background checks as permitted by law. I release prior employers and references from liability for providing information to the employer.

Certification: I certify that the information provided on this form is true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that falsification or omission of material facts may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
