Mutual Confidentiality Agreement

This agreement is between the person who uses the link to join the 2CVGB meeting
(“the Party“)
and
Deux Chevaux Club of Great Britain (2CVGB) Limited, a company registered in England under company number 03946346 whose registered office is at 20 Malvern Close, Doncaster, DN8 5RT
(“2CVGB“) (together the “Parties”)

2CVGB and the Party may, from time to time, disclose to each other Confidential Information (as defined in clause 4, below). For the purposes of this Agreement, the party disclosing such information to the other will be referred to as the “Discloser” and the party receiving such information will be referred to as the “Recipient“. Each party shall disclose its information to the other party strictly subject to the terms set out in this Agreement.

1. The Discloser may, from time to time, disclose to the Recipient information relating to (where relevant) the Discloser’s opinions, business, plans and/or 2CVGB’s members (including information relating to, where relevant, 2CVGB’s Affiliates which will also be covered by this Agreement). The Discloser will disclose its information to the Recipient strictly according to the terms set out in this Agreement.
2. The Recipient will only use Discloser’s Confidential Information as strictly required to perform role(s) and duties within 2CVGB and its Affiliates. The Recipient will make reasonable endeavours to ensure such use is always in the Discloser’s best interests. For the avoidance of doubt, the Recipient agrees not to use the Confidential Information for any other purposes including, but not limited to, pursuing activities or gain (monetary or otherwise) personally or for third parties other than those covered by this Agreement.
3. The Recipient will store all Confidential information in a secure place (wherever possible and relevant, secure storage provided by 2CVGB) when not in use and will safeguard Confidential Information.
4. “Confidential Information” means
   a)    any confidential information or data which is disclosed by the Discloser (or, where 2CVGB is the Discloser, an Affiliate of the Discloser) to the Recipient and which is disclosed in a manner clearly indicating it is confidential in nature or which would under the circumstances appear to a reasonable person to be confidential or proprietary; and
   b)    without limiting the generality of the foregoing, specifically includes information and material which identify or concern either party’s data, personal information, copyrights, patents, memorandum, reports, correspondence, know-how, past or present customers (including 2CVGB members), business partners, business plans or financial information.
   
5. In this Agreement, “Affiliate” means in respect of a party its holding company, its subsidiary company or a subsidiary company of its holding company as those terms are defined in section 1159 of the Companies Act 2006.
6. The undertakings in clauses 2 and 3 above apply to all of the information disclosed by the Discloser to the Recipient, regardless of the way or form in which it is disclosed or recorded but they do not apply to:
   a) any information which is or in future comes into the public domain (unless as a result of the breach of this Agreement); or
   b) any information previously known by the Recipient without any obligation to hold it in confidence before it was disclosed to the Recipient by the Discloser; or
   c) any information independently developed by the Recipient without the use of Confidential Information of the Discloser; or
   d) any information approved for release by written authorisation of the Discloser, but only to the extent of and subject to such conditions as may be imposed in such written authorisation; or
   e) any information lawfully received, without restriction, against disclosure, from a third party free to disclose such information.
7. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Recipient from making any disclosure of the Confidential Information required by law or by any competent authority.
8. The Recipient will, on request from the Discloser, return all copies and records of the Confidential Information to the Discloser and will not retain any copies or records of the Confidential Information. Furthermore, when requested by the Discloser, the Recipient will irretrievably destroy or delete all embodiments of the Confidential Information or any part of it from all electronic methods of storing information.
9. Neither this Agreement nor the supply of any information grants the Recipient any licence, interest or right in respect of any intellectual property rights of the Discloser except the right to copy the Confidential Information solely for the purposes described in clause 2.
10. The undertakings in clauses 2 and 3 will continue in force indefinitely.
11. The Parties agree that an impending or existing violation of any provision of this Agreement may cause the Discloser irreparable injury for which it would have no adequate remedy at law, and that the Discloser will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief prohibiting such violation, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it.
12. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be deemed deleted from this Agreement and replaced by a valid and enforceable provision which so far as possible achieves the Parties’ intent in agreeing to the original provision. The remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
13. Each party warrants that it has the authority to enter into this Agreement and to lawfully make the disclosures contemplated under this Agreement.
14. This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior communications, agreements and understandings relating thereto. The provisions of this Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived, except by a written instrument duly executed by both Parties.
15. This Agreement is governed by, and is to be construed in accordance with, English law. The English Courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction to deal with any dispute which has arisen or may arise out of, or in connection with, this Agreement.
