Agreements prevent conflicts and mitigate risk. Contracts often go through a negotiation process that ensures both sides are getting the best deal possible. The Provider agrees to hold all details related to product development for the Client as proprietary and confidential. No aspect or detail or the product being developed or any assets or information provided to the Provider by the Client shall be disclosed to any party without prior written consent from the Client.
