3. Confidentiality And Mutual Non-Disclosure

The Company and Client may reveal technical, business or personal information to each other at times as a result of performing the Services that the disclosing party wishes the receiving party to accept as “Confidential Information”.

"Confidential Information" is any information that is not publicly available and that is disclosed by either party to the other, whether directly, indirectly, in writing, orally or by examination of tangible objects. Among the items that are confidential are software, documentation, formulas, know-how, methods, processes, business models, prototypes, new products, samples, marketing data, marketing plans, customer names, pricing strategies and terms, information obtained from third parties that was treated as confidential, and any other information about the parties that was not generally known. It covers the disclosure of confidential information to one party by a subsidiary, affiliate, related company, and/or agent of the other party.

Any information that: 

1. i) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain before the disclosing party disclosed it shall not be considered Confidential Information; 
2. ii) after disclosure by a party to a recipient, becomes publicly known or generally available through no action or inaction of the recipient. As likely to be shown by the receiving party's files and records immediately prior to the time of disclosure; 

iii) was already present on the receiving party's premises when the disclosing party disclosed it; 

1. iv) The receiving party obtains the information from a third party without breaching such a third party's confidentiality obligation; and 
2. v) Documents and other competent evidence in the possession of the receiving party demonstrate that the receiving party did not use, analyze, or incorporate the receiving party's confidential information into its own product or services.

As a condition of the Services, each party agrees not to use the other party's Confidential Information for any purpose other than performing the Services. In order to prevent any disclosing of Confidential Information, the parties have agreed not to disclose any of the other party's information to third parties, except for the following instances 

1. i) required by law, regulation or legal process or if requested by any government agency; 
2. ii) it is advised by counsel that it may incur liability for failure to make such disclosure; 

iii) requested to by the other party; provided that in the event of i) or ii) the disclosing party shall give the other party reasonable prior notice of such disclosure to the extent reasonably practicable and cooperate with the other party (at such other party’s expense) in any efforts to prevent such disclosure.

Upon the Client's cancellation, the Company will store any and all confidential materials, information, data, or content provided by the Client or on the Client's behalf for up to 60 days after the cancellation. An exception to this are the electronic communications between the parties which are securely stored but shall not be destroyed upon the end or cancellation of the services.

These services are considered confidential intellectual property of the Company,  therefore it cannot provide evidence or details regarding the strategies, submissions, or methods used to deliver them.

       I.          Content Removal Terms

These Terms apply to the provision of Content Removal services by Remove Digital, as defined herein, to clients who enter into an agreement with the Company.

These terms apply in addition to and in conjunction with the Company's General Terms and Conditions. Definitions used in the Terms of Business shall likewise apply herein.

Definitions

“Content Removal” refers to Remove Digital’s  proprietary online content removal services that are identified in a quote or proposal provided to the Client in this website, or via any other form of communication.

“Target Content” refers to online content, reviews, articles, sound files, or videos, that have been identified and mutually agreed upon by the Company and its Client as potential targets for Content Removal.

The "Nominated Publishers" are the websites that are designated to host and/or display the Target Content on the Internet. When a search engine (eg Google) de-indexes a page, it means the website will no longer be displayed by the search engine; however, it does not mean the website will be removed from the internet.

     II.          Terms of Service (Content Removal)

The Company agrees to provide the Services identified, and the Client agrees to pay for such Services based on and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the specific terms of the quote or proposal provided by the Company to the Client.

In consideration for the Company's ongoing allocation of time, resources, and technologies in order to provide Content Removal services, the Client agrees to the following terms:

1. i) The Company is authorized to communicate with the Nominated Publishers responsible for displaying the Target Content for and on behalf of the Client.
2. ii) As part of the Content Removal services provided by the Company, the Client agrees that the Company will only attempt to delete the Target Content from the Nominated Publisher(s) website(s).

iii) The Client agrees that the Company shall not be held responsible if the Target Content specified in the agreement is uploaded to sites, hosts or publishers other than those identified in

the agreement (within or outside of the agreed upon term).

1. iv) The Client may need to provide information and materials in order to use Content Removal services. The Client agrees that they are solely responsible for delays caused by failure to deliver, provide or divulge the requested information to the Company, and any such delays will not affect the agreed upon payment schedule.
2. v) It is not guaranteed by the Company that the Target Content will be removed fully or partially. Successfully removed Content will only incur a charge based on the remaining quote price.
3. vi) The Client will not be contacted directly by the Author(s) of Target Content unless permission is granted in writing by the Client. Company's Content Removal services primarily involve contacting the Nominated Publishers to inform them why the content should be removed.

vii) The Client should know that the Nominated Publisher will, from time to time, contact the original author as a result of the Content Removal, and that the Company will have no involvement in this process.

viii) If an author or publisher edits the Target Content and re-posts it as a new instance after the original one has been removed, the Client agrees that the Company is not responsible for its re-publishing.

1. ix) The Client agrees that if the Target Content is removed during or within the agreed upon term, it is agreed that the Company will take full credit and responsibility for its removal. The remaining balance for the content removal will become due and payable.
2. x) Before Content Removal services can begin, a deposit may be required. In the event that the Target Content cannot be removed within the agreed upon time period, the Company agrees to refund all deposits. The Company agrees to notify the Client following successful removals before charging the balance of the fees. The contract term is sixty (60) days from the day the deposit is paid, unless otherwise agreed. The Company will handle refund requests in all other instances based on its refund policy. Payments or deposits made at the time of termination of the services by the Client will not be refunded. The Client is aware that the Company may have already submitted irreversible submissions for the removal of some or all of the Target Content, and the Client still owes the outstanding balance in the event that the Target Content is successfully removed.
3. xi) If the Client chooses to purchase other Services together with Content Removal Services, the Company may offer the Client a discounted rate for the Content Removal Services. As a result of the cancellation of some or all other Services, the Company reserves the right to adjust, vary, or revoke any discounts. If a Client cancels a package that includes Content Removal services, the Company may adjust or revoke any discounts offered for other services as part of that package.

    III.          Refund Policy

A deposit is considered a refundable payment according to the terms of the applicable service offer.

The Company will determine whether to issue a refund or credit upon reviewing the request taking into consideration the amount of time and resources allocated by the Company to providing the Services.
