DEFINITION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

For the purpose of this Agreement, 'Confidential Information' shall include, but not be limited to, any non-public information, data, or materials, whether written, oral, electronic, or visual, disclosed by the Company to the Employee, or to which the Employee gains access, directly or indirectly, during the course of their employment. This includes, without limitation:

(a) Maintain all Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not disclose, publish, or disseminate it to any third party without the prior written consent of the Company.

(b) Use the Confidential Information solely for the benefit of the Company and in furtherance of their employment duties, and not for personal gain or for any purpose detrimental to the Company.

(c) Exercise at least the same degree of care in safeguarding the Confidential Information as the Employee uses to protect their own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

(d) Notify the Company immediately upon discovery of any unauthorised use or disclosure of Confidential Information.
