Confidentiality agreement for translation services between Russian and English

We understand the importance of confidentiality and are aware of the sensitive nature of many texts supplied to us for translation or editing. All information and documents delivered to us by clients are kept strictly confidential and not disclosed to any third party. Besides, we make sure that all working papers (notes, drafts, etc.) are shredded before disposal.

Confidentiality Agreement

1. In this Agreement, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:

2. The Translator acknowledges that all documentation made available or disclosed to it by the Client shall remain the exclusive property of the Client and recognises that such documentation is confidential and proprietary to the Client and shall be treated as such and shall not be disclosed to a third party, save as provided in Clause 5 hereunder or as required by any applicable laws, without the prior written consent of the Client. The Translator undertakes to return all such documentation at the request of the Client and, in any event, upon conclusion of the Translator's need thereof.

3. The Translator undertakes to treat all information received from the Client, including the Client's contact details and the text for translation ("Information"), as confidential and further undertakes that such Information shall not be disclosed to a third party without the prior written consent of the Client. However, the Translator reserves the right to publish the name of the Client and/or the Client’s company, together with a small amount of information, on the Translator’s website for promotional purposes, unless it has been specifically agreed with the Client not to do so.

4. The Translator undertakes to relinquish its rights in the Translation Services to the Client once all claims against the Client have been met.
