രഹസ്യാത്മകതയും നോൺ-സർക്കുമെൻഷൻ കരാറും: അത് എന്താണ്

A Confidentiality and Non-Circumvention Agreement protects a person who introduces a deal, buyer, supplier or investor. Both parties agree to keep the deal information confidential and not to bypass each other to deal directly with contacts the other introduced for a fixed number of months without consent and fair compensation. It also allows the injured party to seek an injunction.

നിങ്ങൾക്ക് ഈ രേഖ ആവശ്യമുള്ളപ്പോൾ

• A broker or consultant is introducing a buyer to a seller and wants protection against being cut out.
• You are sharing a supplier's or manufacturer's details with a trading partner for an import or export deal.
• An intermediary is bringing an investor to a startup or project and expects a success fee.
• Two businesses are exchanging leads and sensitive pricing information before a joint bid.
• A real estate or land deal involves sharing the owner's identity before terms are fixed.

അത് എന്താണ് ഉൾക്കൊള്ളുന്നത്

• The names of both parties, the effective date and a description of the deal or opportunity.
• A mutual duty to keep information about the opportunity confidential and not disclose it without consent.
• A promise, for the stated number of months, not to bypass the other party to deal directly with contacts, sources or opportunities it introduced.
• An exception where the introducing party consents and is appropriately compensated.
• Acknowledgement that a breach may not be fully compensable in money and that injunctive relief may be sought in addition to damages.

അത് എങ്ങനെ പൂരിപ്പിക്കുകയും ഒപ്പിടുകയും ഉപയോഗിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യാം

1. 1Describe the deal clearly enough to identify it, and keep a written record of each contact you introduce and the date.
2. 2Fill in both parties, the deal description, term and effective date on this page and check the preview.
3. 3Ask an advocate to review it before signing, because non-circumvention clauses can run into the restraint of trade rule and the compensation term is left open in this draft.
4. 4Agree in writing the commission or fee payable if the introduced deal goes ahead, ideally as a percentage or fixed amount.
5. 5Print the agreement, pay stamp duty as applicable in your state, and have both parties sign before any contact details are shared.
6. 6Share introductions by email so there is a dated trail, and keep the signed copy with that correspondence.

അറ്റാച്ചുചെയ്യാനോ സൂക്ഷിക്കാനോ ഉള്ള രേഖകൾ

• Introduction log listing contacts introduced and dates
• Commission or fee agreement, if separate
• Email trail of introductions and information shared

അതിന് പിന്നിലെ നിയമം

The agreement is a contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. Confidentiality promises are generally enforceable. The non-circumvention part must be read with section 27 of the Act, which voids restraints on carrying on a lawful business. The Supreme Court has held that a restraint which continues after the contract ends is void under section 27 even if it is reasonable (Percept D'Mark v Zaheer Khan, 2006). The promise to keep information confidential stands on firmer ground. Injunctions are granted at the court's discretion under the Specific Relief Act, 1963. Stamp duty varies by state.

ഒഴിവാക്കേണ്ട സാധാരണ തെറ്റുകൾ

• Sharing contact names before the agreement is signed, which leaves the introducer with nothing to enforce.
• Not fixing the commission, so appropriately compensating becomes a dispute about how much.
• Keeping no record of who was introduced and when, which makes breach very hard to prove.
• Choosing an unreasonably long term, which makes the restriction easier to challenge.
