Confidentiality ​

Confidential information means any data or information which is to be protected from unauthorized access and which the parties wish to keep confidential. This includes, in particular, trade and business secrets and applies even when the parties have not expressed their explicit intention to treat these as confidential. Independently of the medium on which they are contained this means in particular source code, products, manufacturing processes, know-how, designs, drawings, specifications, business secrets, business relationships, business strategies, business plans, financial planning, customer information, pricing information and personnel matters. This also applies to information belonging to the parties’ affiliates.

Prohibition on Disclosure ​

Both parties shall treat confidential information with the necessary confidentiality and high degree of care and the receiving party shall only use this information for the contractual purpose expressly agreed in writing.

Confidential information may only be reproduced by the parties to the extent required for the execution of the contract. The principle of data minimization shall be observed in this respect. The parties shall treat any necessary copies that have been made with the same degree of confidentiality as an original and according to the spirit of this agreement.

Disclosing confidential information to third parties or to members of CQSE is only allowed to the extent necessary for the performance of the contractual purpose. The receiving party shall ensure that the confidential information will not be made available to an undetermined group of persons but rather only to those persons who require access to perform their duties under the contract.

This shall not apply to information which is not considered to be confidential. This includes information which

  • was already known to the receiving party prior to any obligation to keep it confidential;
  • was already in the public domain at the time of transfer by the disclosing party or becomes known publicly after disclosure through no fault of the receiving party;
  • was made accessible in good faith to the receiving party by a third party not bound directly or indirectly by non-disclosure obligations towards the disclosing party and having a lawful right to disclose this information ;
  • is developed independently without use of confidential information of the disclosing party;
  • was made accessible to third parties after transfer in a legally admissible manner and without any restrictions in regards to confidentiality or use.

The burden of proof regarding the existence of the above-mentioned exceptions will be borne exclusively by the receiving party.

Any non-disclosure undertakings shall survive termination of this agreement for an additional period of five years.
