This document is an Ericsson Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) confidentiality clause. It establishes the terms and conditions governing the exchange and protection of confidential information between parties. The agreement covers all confidential documents, work, products, and information, including computer code, internal photographs, block diagrams, schematic diagrams, technical manuals, and related materials.
The agreement stipulates that all received information will be treated as confidential and used solely for fulfilling the obligations outlined in the agreement. It also addresses restrictions on public access to confidential equipment, requiring physical security measures and limited access to authorized personnel only. The document further details the circumstances under which the confidentiality obligations do not apply, such as information that becomes publicly available without fault, is already in the receiving party's possession, or is received from a non-confidential source. Finally, it addresses disclosures required by arbitration or governmental authority, requiring notice and cooperation to minimize the extent of disclosure.
