4The Agreement We Use
INUKA works from a short-form mutual non-disclosure agreement governed by the laws of Uganda. It is issued on request and covers the following:
- Purpose — evaluating or performing a potential or agreed sourcing, procurement, supply or partnership opportunity.
- Confidential Information — non-public commercial, technical, financial, procurement, supplier, product, pricing, design or operational information disclosed in any form and reasonably understood to be confidential.
- Exclusions — information already lawfully known without restriction, public without breach, lawfully received from a third party, or independently developed.
- Obligations — use only for the Purpose, protect with reasonable care, and disclose only to personnel and advisers who need it and are bound by equivalent duties.
- Required disclosure — prompt notice where legally permitted, disclosing only what is required.
- No licence or commitment — disclosure transfers no intellectual-property rights and obliges neither party to enter a transaction.
- Return or destruction — on written request or termination of discussions, subject to lawful retention and backup requirements.
- Duration, remedies, governing law and amendment terms.
To start, send a request and INUKA will confirm the correct legal entity before issuing the agreement for signature.
