Document background
The Indemnity Confidentiality Agreement is essential for business relationships involving the sharing of sensitive or valuable information where the potential for significant damage from unauthorized disclosure exists. This document, governed by Austrian law, is particularly relevant for corporate transactions, strategic partnerships, or service arrangements where one party needs to protect its confidential information while ensuring clear recourse through indemnification if breaches occur. It addresses requirements under Austrian civil law, EU regulations (including GDPR), and trade secrets protection, making it suitable for both domestic Austrian transactions and cross-border arrangements where Austrian law is chosen. The agreement is commonly used in technology transfers, M&A due diligence, joint ventures, and high-value service contracts where proprietary information must be protected.
