Purpose

Both parties wish to explore or engage in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration together, and in doing so may disclose confidential information to one another. This agreement protects that information.

Confidential Information

"Confidential Information" means any non-public business, technical, financial, or product information disclosed by either party, whether in writing, verbally, or by inspection, and reasonably understood to be confidential given its nature or the circumstances of disclosure.

Confidential Information does not include information that: was already known to the receiving party without obligation of confidentiality; is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; is independently developed without use of the disclosed information; or is rightfully received from a third party without restriction.

Obligations

The receiving party agrees to: use Confidential Information only for the purpose described above; protect it with at least the same care used for its own confidential information, and no less than reasonable care; and not disclose it to any third party without prior written consent, except to employees or advisors who need to know it and are bound by similar confidentiality obligations.

Term

This agreement remains in effect for October 11, 2026, or until terminated by either party with 30 days' written notice. The confidentiality obligations above survive termination for 2 years.

Remedies

Both parties acknowledge that unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone may not be an adequate remedy, and that the disclosing party may seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies available.
