1. Confidential information. The documents in this room, and anything disclosed to you in connection with evaluating Ward, are confidential. That includes the security questionnaire responses, the reference architecture, the SOC 2 materials, and the commercial terms.
2. Use. You may use them only to evaluate whether to enter into an agreement with Ward, and may share them internally with colleagues and professional advisers who need them for that evaluation and are bound by equivalent obligations.
3. Exclusions. Information that is public through no act of yours, that you already held without an obligation of confidence, that you receive from a third party free to disclose it, or that you develop independently, is not covered.
4. Required disclosure. If you are compelled by law or a regulator to disclose, you may, provided you give us reasonable notice where you are lawfully able to.
5. Mutual. Anything you send us during the evaluation is covered on the same terms. We do not need your data to evaluate us, and we would rather not hold it.
6. Term. Two years from acceptance, or until superseded by a signed agreement between us that covers the same material.
7. No licence, no obligation. Nothing here transfers any intellectual property or commits either of us to enter into an agreement.
