Vertraulichkeitsvereinbarung (einseitig)

This template contains a unilateral, Swiss law governed confidentiality agreement (Vertraulichkeitsvereinbarung). The unilateral nature of the agreement means that only one party is bound by the confidentiality obligations. This type of agreement is usually chosen when only one party discloses confidential information. In case both parties deliver sensitive information to the counterparty, the form of a bilateral confidentiality agreement should be chosen. A template for a bilateral confidentiality agreement is also available on PartnerVine. This template (i.e. the questionnaire and the agreement it produces) is in German. Please note that templates in English and French are also available.

This agreement can be used in any context in which one party delivers sensitive information to the counterparty and wishes to ensure the confidentiality of such information and/or the fact of their cooperation. Confidentiality agreements are typically used in connection with the exploration and/or negotiation of (possible) transactions, in the context of any form of cooperation (joint venture, joint development, etc.), with regard to the establishment of business relationships or for any other projects in which confidential information will be exchanged.

This template is drafted in a way that either legal persons (juristische Personen) or natural persons (natürliche Personen) can be party to the agreement. In case legal persons are parties, a non-solicitation clause can be included in the agreement. If securities of the disclosing party are listed on a stock exchange, a standstill-clause with respect to transactions in securities of such company may be included. Moreover, the user may choose between different options with regard to the term of the agreement and with respect to other provisions, such as contractual penalty, data protection or place of jurisdiction.

Terms which are configurable to the user’s needs include:

• Details of the parties;
• Background of the agreement;
• Non-solicitation clause;
• Standstill obligation;
• Contractual penalty;
• Data protection clause;
• Term of the agreement; and
• Jurisdiction.
