Volunteer Confidentiality Agreement
In connection with the performance of services requested by PMI Toronto and in reliance on Your statement that You are interested in pursuing that business relationship, the Parties may provide each other with business, financial, legal, technical and other types of information and/or ideas, in written, electronic and oral form, which are related to the business of the Parties. All such information is hereinafter referred to as "Proprietary Information." "You" for purposes of this Agreement means the company or individual set forth below, its agents, attorneys, affiliates, subsidiaries and all persons acting on its behalf. “The Parties” for the purposes of this Agreement shall mean You and PMI Toronto.
In consideration for the disclosure and any negotiation concerning the proposed business relationship, the Parties agree as follows:
The Parties will hold in confidence and not possess or use (except to perform the requested services) or disclose any Proprietary Information except information a party can document (a) is in the public domain through no fault of the disclosing party, (b) was properly known by the disclosing party, without restriction, prior to any disclosure, or (c) as may be required by law. The foregoing does not grant either party a license in or to any of the Proprietary Information of the other party.
If the business relationship between You and PMI Toronto expires or is terminated, the parties will promptly return all Proprietary Information and all copies, extracts and other objects or items in which it may be contained or embodied.
The parties will promptly notify the PMI Toronto Privacy Officer of any unauthorized release of Proprietary Information.
The parties acknowledge and agree that due to the unique nature of the Proprietary Information, any breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm for which damages are not an adequate remedy and that the Parties shall therefore be entitled to equitable relief in addition to all other remedies available at law.
The terms of this Agreement will remain in effect with respect to any particular Proprietary Information until either party can document that it falls into one of the exceptions stated in Paragraph 1 above.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Canadian Federal Privacy Legislation (PIPEDA) and may be enforced in any provincial or federal court sitting in that province. Nothing in this Agreement may be modified or waived unless in writing, signed by a duly authorized representative of the Parties
