Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Student Agreement

As a student of This is Pretty In Ink, LLC (Company), you will learn or have access to information which is confidential to the Company, customers, and/or others.  The Company desires to, and in some cases, has a legal obligation to protect the confidentiality of this information as well as trade secrets and other proprietary information (“Confidential Information”).  

Confidential Information

The Company makes great effort to protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information and to prevent it from being disclosed to persons or entities outside of our Company or to the public in general.  You acknowledge that the disclosure or dissemination of such information would cause great harm to the Company, and in some cases, violate the law. You, therefore, agree to use all reasonable measures necessary to avoid disclosure, including accidental disclosure, of Confidential Information and to protect it from public exposure.  

The following list includes some, but not all, of the confidential information you may receive or have access to while a student of the Company.

Confidential Information may be oral, written, recalled from memory, or any other form or media.  Confidential Information does not include information which has been disclosed to the public through no fault or misuse of any person.

You acknowledge that the Confidential Information is a valuable and unique asset of the Company and that the protection of the Confidential Information is vital to the Company’s business, goodwill and ability to compete in the marketplace. 

Non-Disclosure

You acknowledge and agree that Confidential Information is and will always be the sole property of the Company.

Whistleblower Immunity

Any person who discloses a trade secret or other confidential information in confidence to a governmental official (federal, state or local) or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating suspected violations of the law will be granted immunity from trade secret violations.  This “whistleblower immunity” protects you if you share a trade secret with a government official or attorney for the sole purpose of reporting or helping to investigate suspected legal violations.  This immunity also applies to trade secrets shared in lawsuits or court documents as long as those documents are filed under seal (meaning the court will give the documents special protection from public exposure).

Conflict of Interest

You agree to be free of any conflicts of interest that could adversely influence your ability to provide services under this Agreement.  Specifically, without limitation, you agree not to use opportunities, resources or unique knowledge provided by the Company or which should be used for the benefit of the Company or use confidential Company or customer information for gain or advantage of yourself or others. 

I have read this Agreement, understand my confidentiality
and other responsibilities, and agree to be bound by it.
