Understanding Confidentiality Clauses

Summary

Confidentiality clauses ensure that the Receiving Party cannot use the Confidential Information beyond the agreed Purpose and do not grant any intellectual property rights. Signing the agreement or sharing information does not provide exclusivity or special privileges. If you have questions about including the entire agreement in a document, consider consulting a contract attorney for specific guidance.
