MUTUAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

This Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of the date of submission or acceptance ("Effective Date") between the post-production collective ("Company") and the client submitting materials or requesting services ("Client") (each a "Party" and collectively referred to as the "Parties").

For the purposes of this Agreement, "Client" means any production company, advertising agency, digital agency, creator, or direct client who submits materials or requests services through our platform or direct communication.

"Project" means any creative work including but not limited to television commercials, digital content, website content, corporate films, launch films, television programmes, on-air promos, music videos, or films for social media. The Company represents a collective of high-calibre freelance professionals who handle all confidential materials with the utmost respect and professionalism. Where Clients have their own specific NDA requirements, those may be signed in addition to this Agreement.

Website Submission Terms: By submitting any form, uploading materials, or requesting quotes through our website, the Client automatically agrees to be bound by this Mutual NDA.The Parties now agree as follows:

1. Confidential Information. Each Party receiving confidential information ("Recipient") acknowledges that they will receive confidential, proprietary, and commercially sensitive information from the other Party ("Discloser") for the purpose of exploring, establishing, or delivering creative services and projects ("Purpose").

Each Party understands the importance of maintaining confidentiality and agrees to handle all information with professional discretion. "Confidential Information" includes all materials shared regardless of format, including treatments, scripts, client concept decks, product information, creative briefs, storyboards, budgets, pricing, technical specifications, business strategies, client lists, vendor relationships, production methods, and any other proprietary information related to the Project or business operations.

2. Confidentiality Obligations. Recipients agree not to disclose, share, copy, or misuse any Confidential Information without prior written consent. Information may only be used for the agreed Purpose and shared only with team members, freelancers, or contractors who need access to complete the work and who are bound by similar confidentiality obligations. The Recipient remains responsible for any breaches by their representatives or team members. Under no circumstances should Confidential Information be shared with competing businesses or used for any purpose other than the agreed Project.

These confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that: (i) is already publicly available, (ii) is lawfully received from a third party without confidentiality restrictions, (iii) is made public by the Discloser, or (iv) was independently developed without using the Discloser's Confidential Information (with appropriate documentation as proof).

3. Protecting Information. Each Party agrees to take reasonable steps to protect confidential information, using at least the same level of care they use for their own sensitive information. Any unauthorized disclosure or loss must be reported immediately to the Discloser.

If required by law or court order to disclose Confidential Information, the Recipient will (where legally possible) notify the Discloser promptly to allow them to seek protective measures, and will only disclose what is legally required. The Discloser retains all ownership rights to their Confidential Information.

4. Return of Materials. Upon request, Recipients will promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information and confirm in writing that this has been done. Recipients may retain one copy for legal or archival purposes, or as required by law, provided it remains confidential and is only accessed if disputes arise.

5. No Warranty. All information is provided "as is" without any warranties regarding accuracy, completeness, or suitability.

6. No License. This Agreement does not grant any intellectual property rights or proprietary interests in the shared information.

7. Duration. The confidentiality obligations under this Agreement will continue for five (5) years from the Effective Date, or for the maximum period allowed by law for trade secrets.

8. Remedies. Both Parties acknowledge that breach of this Agreement could cause significant harm. Therefore, in addition to other available remedies, either Party may seek injunctive relief to enforce these terms.

9. General Terms. This Agreement can only be modified in writing signed by both Parties. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. This Agreement binds both Parties and their permitted successors. The Agreement will be governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the English courts. This Agreement represents the complete understanding between the Parties regarding confidentiality. Electronic signatures are acceptable, and the Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts.

Each person signing this Agreement confirms they have the authority to bind their respective Party to these terms.
