Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement

1. Purpose

The parties intend to explore a potential business relationship in connection with the Easyexports platform (the "Purpose") and may exchange confidential information to evaluate that relationship.

2. Confidential Information

"Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by one party ("Discloser") to the other ("Recipient"), in any form, that is identified as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given its nature and the circumstances of disclosure. This includes product plans, source code, customer lists, pricing, buyer/supplier data, business strategy and personal data.

3. Exclusions

Confidential Information does not include information that:

• is or becomes publicly available without breach of this agreement;
• was lawfully in the Recipient's possession before disclosure, without confidentiality obligations;
• is lawfully received from a third party without confidentiality obligations; or
• is independently developed by the Recipient without use of the Discloser's information.

4. Obligations

• Use Confidential Information solely for the Purpose.
• Protect it with at least the same degree of care as the Recipient uses for its own confidential information of similar importance, and never less than a reasonable standard of care.
• Disclose it only to employees, contractors and advisors who need to know for the Purpose and are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than this agreement.
• Not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any software or systems disclosed under this agreement.

5. Compelled disclosure

If the Recipient is compelled by law or a governmental authority to disclose Confidential Information, it will (where legally permitted) give prompt notice to the Discloser so it may seek a protective order, and disclose only the minimum required.

6. Term

7. No licence, no obligation

No licence to any intellectual property is granted by disclosure. Nothing in this agreement obliges either party to enter into a further transaction or to disclose particular information.

8. Return or destruction

On written request or termination, the Recipient will return or destroy Confidential Information in its possession, except copies retained in routine backups or required by law, which remain subject to this agreement.

9. Remedies

The parties acknowledge that breach of this agreement may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and that the non-breaching party is entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

10. Governing law
