Nondisclosure Agreement (the “Agreement”)
Thank you for your interest in discussing the “Project” (the “Project”). In connection with the Project, you may receive information relating to Amazon.com, Inc. and its affiliates (“Amazon”) that is not known to the general public and that is designated as confidential or that, given the nature of the information or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure, reasonably should be considered as confidential (“Confidential Information”). You must protect all Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure.
In consideration of Amazon’s discussing the Project with you, and for other good and valuable consideration, you agree that, (i) all Confidential Information will remain Amazon’s exclusive property and by nature of you receiving the Confidential Information you will receive no licenses to any intellectual property associated with such Confidential Information, (ii) you will use Confidential Information only in pursuance of your business relationship with Amazon related to the Project, (iii) you will not disclose Confidential Information to any individual, company or other third party, (iv) you will take all reasonable measures to avoid disclosure, dissemination or unauthorized use of Confidential Information, and (v) you will notify Amazon promptly if you know or have concern that there has been any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information.
Upon Amazon’s request, you will return to Amazon or destroy all Confidential Information and certify in writing to Amazon your compliance with such request. If entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company, you will restrict the possession, knowledge and use of any Confidential Information to your employees and subcontractors who (i) has a need to know the specific Confidential Information in connection with the pursuance of your business relationship with Amazon related to the Project, and (ii) has entered into a written nondisclosure agreement (which may be a different form of agreement than this Agreement, so long as it obligates them to protect the Confidential Information to the same or greater degree as required under this Agreement). You will ensure that any employees and subcontractors comply with this Agreement and their respective nondisclosure agreements.
You understand and agree that all comments, suggestions, notes, feedback and other information that you provide to Amazon related to the Project will become Amazon’s sole property, without additional consideration. Amazon will be entitled to use such information for any purpose.
You further understand that Amazon is relying upon your promise to comply strictly with this Agreement and that a breach of your obligations under this Agreement could cause irreparable harm to Amazon as to which monetary damages may be difficult to ascertain or an inadequate remedy. You agree that Amazon will have the right, in addition to its other rights and remedies, to seek injunctive relief for any violation of this Agreement. If a court determines that a provision of this Agreement is invalid, that provision’s invalidity will not affect the validity of any other provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Washington without regard to conflict of laws provisions, and will be effective until the Confidential Information is made public by Amazon. Amazon’s failure to strictly enforce any provision of this Agreement will not prevent Amazon from subsequently enforcing that provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
