Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Agreement

Version 1.0 · Governed by the laws of England and Wales

This agreement is made between Purpose Driven Assets Ltd (the "Discloser") and you, the individual named below (the "Recipient"). By ticking the box and proceeding, you enter into a legally binding agreement on the following terms.

1. Confidential Information

"Confidential Information" means all information disclosed to the Recipient through this website or in connection with it, in any form, including: the Minechain concept, business model and commercial strategy; the traceability methodology and system design; technical architecture, processes and workflows; financial models, costings and projections; research, analysis and market data; roadmaps and pilot plans; and any intellectual property, know-how or trade secrets relating to any of the foregoing.

2. The Recipient's obligations

The Recipient shall:

• keep the Confidential Information strictly confidential and secret;
• not disclose, publish, transmit or otherwise make available any Confidential Information, in whole or in part, to any other person or organisation without the Discloser's prior written consent;
• use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of evaluating the concept, and for no other purpose whatsoever;
• not copy, record, screenshot, reproduce or store the Confidential Information except to the minimum extent reasonably necessary for that evaluation;
• not use the Confidential Information to develop, procure or assist any competing or derivative product, service or venture; and
• apply at least the same degree of care to the Confidential Information as it applies to its own confidential information, and in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care.

3. Intellectual property

All intellectual property rights in the Confidential Information remain the exclusive property of the Discloser. Nothing in this agreement grants the Recipient any licence or right in or to the Confidential Information, other than the limited right to review it for the evaluation purpose stated above. No right to use any name, trade mark or branding is granted.

4. Exclusions

The obligations above do not apply to information which the Recipient can demonstrate by written evidence: (a) was lawfully in its possession, free of any confidentiality obligation, before disclosure; (b) is or becomes public through no act or omission of the Recipient; (c) is lawfully received from a third party entitled to disclose it; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law, by a court of competent jurisdiction, or by a regulatory authority — provided the Recipient gives the Discloser prompt written notice where lawfully permitted to do so.

5. Duration

These obligations take effect on acceptance and continue for five (5) years from that date. Obligations in respect of information constituting a trade secret continue for as long as that information remains a trade secret.

6. Remedies

The Recipient acknowledges that damages alone may not be an adequate remedy for breach, and that the Discloser shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable remedies, in addition to any other remedy available at law.

7. No offer, no warranty

The Confidential Information is provided for evaluation only. It does not constitute an offer, an invitation to invest, financial advice, or any representation or warranty as to accuracy or completeness. Minechain is expressly presented as a proof of concept. No partnership, joint venture or agency is created by this agreement.

8. Data protection

The Discloser will record the name, email address, date, time and IP address associated with this acceptance, in order to evidence the agreement and to administer access. This data is processed on the basis of the Discloser's legitimate interest in protecting confidential information, and is retained for the duration of this agreement.

9. Governing law and jurisdiction

This agreement and any dispute arising out of or in connection with it (including non-contractual disputes) are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
