Confidentiality and Data Protection

The Parties anticipate that under this Agreement, it may be necessary for either party to transfer to the other information and data of a proprietary or confidential nature (the “Proprietary Information”). Such information shall be clearly identified by the disclosing party at the time of disclosure, unless by its contents and nature it would be considered proprietary or confidential by a reasonable person familiar with the subject matter of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that any such information is confidential and/or proprietary. The non-disclosing party further acknowledges that all information disclosed to it by the disclosing party is considered Proprietary Information of the disclosing party. Each party agrees that it will use all reasonable and prudent efforts to protect the Proprietary Information of the other party.

Non-Circumvention

The Seller agrees not to circumvent, avoid, bypass, or attempt to bypass the Advisor in any manner with the intent or effect of excluding the Advisor from receiving its agreed-upon compensation for services rendered in connection with any transaction(s) involving properties introduced by the Advisor.
The Seller agrees not to directly or indirectly negotiate, contact, or engage in discussions with any Purchaser introduced by the Advisor or discovered through the Advisor’s platform, network, or communications, with the purpose of concluding a property transaction without the Advisor’s involvement, unless explicitly agreed upon in writing by the Advisor.
The Seller agrees to notify the Advisor promptly and in writing if the Seller receives any direct contact from a Purchaser introduced by the Advisor or if there are any indications that the Purchaser wishes to proceed without the Advisor’s involvement.
