Home / Guides / Your Confidentiality Obligations Under the Agreement

Introduction

Section 12 asks both Parties to keep specific categories of information confidential — a two-way obligation, not just something asked of you.

Key Points

  • Covers the agreement's terms, earnings figures, account details, and operational methods.
  • Neither Party may disclose these to a third party without the other's written consent.
  • Exceptions exist where disclosure is required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
  • Also excepted: disclosure to a Party's own professional advisors under a duty of confidentiality.
  • This obligation specifically survives termination of the agreement (Section 5).
