CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

 

This Confidentiality Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of __________, by and between Atelier Luxury Group, LLC and its affiliates, on the one hand (the “Disclosing Party”), and __________ and its affiliates, on the other hand (the “Recipient”).

  1. The purpose of this Agreement is to prevent the unauthorized disclosure and/or use of Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Disclosing Party to Recipient in connection with pursuing a business relationship or negotiating or performing a contract or agreement between the parties hereto, as well as protecting other assets and relationships of the Disclosing Party.
  2. The parties hereto believe it appropriate herein to memorialize their understanding and agreement as to the extent of Recipient's confidentiality and/or non-disclosure to the Disclosing Party.
  3. The Disclosing Party has developed certain Confidential Information and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary and reasonable to protect the business and goodwill of the Disclosing Party.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

  1.      Confidentiality Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party to, or coming into the possession of, Recipient or its “Representatives” (which term shall include directors, officers, owners, partners, managers, employees, agents, representatives, consultants, affiliates, agents, advisors, accountants and legal counsel, each on a need-to-know basis) from time to time which is not generally known in the trade or industry, including, without limitation, photographs for or in connection with women’s look-books, photographs from Disclosing Party’s digital portal, as well as all information that has or could have commercial value or other utility in the business in which the Disclosing Party is engaged or in which it contemplates engaging and which the unauthorized disclosure could be detrimental to the interests of the Disclosing Party, whether or not such information is identified as Confidential Information by the Disclosing Party or its Representatives.
  2.      Confidentiality. During the term of this Agreement and thereafter, Recipient shall keep strictly secret and confidential any and all information acquired from the Disclosing Party or its Representatives and shall take all necessary precautions to prevent unauthorized use and disclosure of such information. The Recipient acknowledges that it will receive from the Disclosing Party patterns, markers, grading, fits, prints, designs, ideas, sketches, and other materials which the Company intends to use on or in connection with lines of merchandise which have not yet been put into the channels of distribution. Recipient recognizes that these materials are valuable property of the Disclosing Party. Recipient acknowledges the need to preserve the confidentiality and secrecy of these materials and agrees to take all necessary steps to ensure that use by it, its Representatives or by its employees and/or agents will in all respects preserve such confidentiality and secrecy. The Disclosing Party shall take all reasonable precautions to protect the secrecy of the materials, samples, and designs prior to their commercial distribution or the showing of samples for sale, and shall not manufacture any merchandise employing or adapted from any of said designs except for the Disclosing Party, or its affiliates or designees.
  3.      Remedies.
    1.      Equitable Remedies. Recipient understands and acknowledges that any disclosure or misappropriation of any Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement may cause the Disclosing Party irreparable harm, the amount of which may be difficult to ascertain and, therefore, agrees that the Disclosing Party shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order restraining any such further disclosure or misappropriation and for such other relief as the Disclosing Party shall deem appropriate, including specific performance and injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond. Such right of the Disclosing Party is in addition to the remedies otherwise available to the Disclosing Party at law or in equity
    2.      Liquated Damages. Recipient understands and acknowledges that any disclosure or misappropriation of any Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement will cause damage to Disclosing Party for which monetary damages will be difficult to determine with certainty.  Therefore, in the event of a disclosure of Confidential Information by Recipient, it agrees to pay Disclosing Party liquidated damages in the amount of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) per disclosure, which amount is a reasonable forecast of the damages that would be sustained by Disclosing Party in the event of a breach.  Recipient agrees that the foregoing liquidated damage is not penal in nature, and is a reasonable forecast of the damages that will be suffered by Disclosing Party
    3.      Non-Exclusive Remedies; Waivers. No remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. The election of any one or more remedies by the Disclosing Party shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.
  4.      Fees and Costs. If any action, suit or proceeding is brought under or in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party therein shall be entitled to its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
  5.      Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to its choice of law rules. The parties hereto agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any court of competent subject matter jurisdiction in the State of California. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally consent to venue in Los Angeles County Superior Court (and hereby waive any claims of forum non conveniens with respect to such venue) and to the exclusive jurisdiction of competent California state courts in Los Angeles County or federal courts in the Central District of California for all litigation which may be brought with respect to the terms of, and the transactions and relationships contemplated by, this Agreement. The parties further agree that the mailing by certified, registered mail or Federal Express, of any process required by any such court shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against them, without necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or rule of court.
  6.      Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one or more sections, subsections, clauses or provisions is determined to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions, and any partially enforceable provisions to the extent enforceable, shall continue in full force and effect and shall be binding and enforceable.
  7.      Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the sole understanding of the parties about this subject matter and may not be amended or modified except in writing signed by each of the patties to this Agreement. This Agreement shall control in the event of a conflict with any other agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, unless the restriction in such other agreement is more restrictive than in this Agreement, and this Agreement shall survive any termination of negotiations, discussions or consultations between the parties and shall continue indefinitely.
  8.      Assignments. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the right to receive Confidential Information may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party.
  9.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be deemed one and the same instrument.
