1- Parties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the parties to a confidentiality agreement are not the same as the parties with whom the confidential information will be shared, is there any point in signing the agreement? Probably not. Therefore, when signing a confidentiality agreement, it is necessary to ensure that the information in the parties clause is up-to-date. If the parties are commercial companies, obtaining not only the address and trade name but also information such as tax identification number or MERSIS number will greatly facilitate the identification of the company in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2- Duration of the Contract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Defining the boundaries of processes in contracts is, in fact, the primary purpose of a contract. Generally, the duration for which the parties are obligated to retain and\/or protect the information they have obtained under the contract should be specified. A confidentiality agreement for only one year would not be reasonable, and an obligation that extends indefinitely would generally not be accepted by the other party. A decision should be made considering industry practice and general business conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3- Definition of Confidential Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The definition of confidential information will be narrowed or broadened depending on the roles of the parties in the contract. Accurately defining confidential information and establishing a scope that will not disrupt the business process is crucial here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4- Penalty Clause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For example, if an employee's salary becomes known to other employees, it can cause unrest within the company. But is it possible to determine the exact monetary equivalent of this unrest? Often not. Therefore, if a penalty clause is to be included in confidentiality agreements, calculating it by considering the potential harm can prevent many legal issues in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
