This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Artist promises to treat this information as if it is the Artist’s own confidential information. The Artist may use this information to do its job under this Agreement, but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets the Artist use a customer list to contact for involvement on the Job, the Artist cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives the Artist written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Artist may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Agreement ends, the Artist must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Artist promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Client gives the Artist written permission first. The Artist must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Agreement ends. The Artist’s responsibilities only stop if the Artist can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Artist came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Artist came across it, but not because of anything the Artist did or didn’t do; (iii) the Artist already knew the information when the Artist came across it and the Artist didn’t have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Artist with the information without requiring that the Artist keep it a secret; or (v) the Artist created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.
6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It’s possible the Client and the Artist each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and the Artist each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or the Artist is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

In contrast, the Client may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Artist without the Contractor’s permission.

The notice must be delivered to the party’s address listed at the end of this Contract or to another address that the party has provided in writing as an appropriate address to receive notice.
(b) The timing of when a notice is received can be very important. To avoid confusion, a valid notice is considered received as follows: (i) if delivered personally, it is considered received immediately; (ii) if delivered by email, it is considered received upon acknowledgement of receipt; (iii) if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), it is considered received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt. If a party refuses to accept notice or if notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no notice was given, then it is considered received when the notice is rejected or unable to be delivered. If the notice is received after 5:00pm on a London business day at the location specified in the address for that party, or on a day that is not a London business day, then the notice is considered received at 9:00am on the next business day.
9.5 Severability. This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Agreement is found to be unenforceable. If that’s the case, the unenforceable portion will be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that change is not permitted by law, in which case the portion will be disregarded. If any portion of the Contract is changed or disregarded because it is unenforceable, the rest of the Agreement is still enforceable.
9.6 Third Party Rights. A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this contract.
