1. Parties

This Non-Disclosure Agreement (the "Agreement") is made between Bossete, a private systems practice represented by Harumi Miyagi, Principal Operator (the "Discloser"), and the individual or entity identified in the acceptance record attached to this Agreement (the "Recipient").

2. Purpose

The Discloser may disclose confidential information to the Recipient for the purpose of exploring, evaluating, or conducting discussions regarding a potential relationship, engagement, or collaboration with Bossete (the "Purpose").

3. Confidential Information

"Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by or on behalf of the Discloser to the Recipient in connection with the Purpose, in any form — written, oral, visual, or electronic — including but not limited to technical designs, systems and infrastructure detail, business plans, financial information, operational methods, and the existence and content of discussions between the parties.

Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no breach of this Agreement; (b) was lawfully known to the Recipient before disclosure, free of any confidentiality obligation; (c) is independently developed by the Recipient without use of or reference to the Confidential Information; or (d) is lawfully received from a third party without restriction on disclosure.

4. Obligations of the Recipient

The Recipient shall: (a) keep the Confidential Information strictly confidential; (b) use it solely for the Purpose; (c) not disclose it to any third party without the Discloser's prior written consent; and (d) protect it with at least the degree of care the Recipient uses for its own confidential information, and in no event less than reasonable care.

5. Compelled disclosure

If the Recipient is required by law, regulation, or court order to disclose Confidential Information, the Recipient may do so only to the extent required, and shall — where lawful to do so — give the Discloser prompt written notice so that the Discloser may seek protective measures.

6. Term

This Agreement takes effect on the date of the Recipient's acceptance and the confidentiality obligations continue for three (3) years from that date. For any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret, the obligations continue for as long as that information remains a trade secret under applicable law.

7. No licence; no obligation

No licence or other right, express or implied, in or to any intellectual property is granted by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement obliges the Discloser to disclose any particular information, or either party to enter into any further agreement.

8. Return or destruction

On the Discloser's written request, the Recipient shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information in its possession and confirm in writing that it has done so, except to the extent retention is required by law.

9. Remedies

The Recipient acknowledges that unauthorised disclosure of Confidential Information may cause the Discloser harm for which damages alone would not be an adequate remedy, and that the Discloser is entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to any other remedies available.

10. Electronic acceptance

The Recipient accepts this Agreement electronically by (a) providing the identifying details recorded in the acceptance record, (b) ticking the acceptance box presented alongside the full text of this Agreement, and (c) submitting the acceptance. The Recipient agrees that this constitutes a valid electronic signature and that this Agreement may be concluded electronically. The Discloser retains an acceptance record comprising the Recipient's stated identity, the date and time of acceptance, the network address and client used, and a cryptographic digest (SHA-256) of this exact text.

11. General

This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes prior discussions about confidentiality. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder continues in effect. This Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with it.
