Non-Disclosure Agreement

Employee Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Obligation

This Non-Disclosure Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of [DATE], by and between Sapphire Security Services LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("Company" or "Disclosing Party"), and [CANDIDATE_NAME] ("Employee" or "Receiving Party"). This Agreement is a condition of employment and supplements the Employment Agreement executed between the parties.

1 Purpose

In the course of employment, the Employee will be exposed to and will have access to certain confidential, proprietary, and sensitive information belonging to the Company and its clients. The purpose of this Agreement is to protect that information from unauthorized disclosure and to define the Employee's obligations with respect to it.

2 Definition of Confidential Information

"Confidential Information" means any information, in any form or medium, that is not generally known to the public and that relates to the business, operations, clients, or security services of the Company or its clients. Confidential Information includes, without limitation:

  • Client Identities and Data: Names, addresses, contact information, contracts, service agreements, and billing details of Company clients, both current and prospective;
  • Site Layouts and Facility Information: Blueprints, floor plans, access points, security system layouts, camera placements, and physical details of any client property;
  • Security Protocols and Post Orders: Client-specific procedures, emergency response plans, escalation procedures, and alarm/access credentials;
  • Patrol Schedules and Routes: Officer deployment schedules, patrol routes, checkpoint locations, shift change procedures, and response timing;
  • Personnel Information: Employee records, compensation data, background check results, staffing levels, and internal organizational data;
  • Incident and Investigation Reports: Surveillance footage, incident documentation, security assessments, and investigation findings;
  • Business Operations: Pricing, contracts, vendor relationships, software systems, financial data, and strategic plans of the Company.
Important: Confidential Information includes information provided verbally, in writing, electronically, or through observation. The absence of a "confidential" label does not remove information from the scope of this Agreement. When in doubt, treat it as confidential.
3 Obligations of the Receiving Party

The Employee agrees to the following obligations with respect to all Confidential Information:

  • Non-Disclosure: Not to disclose, publish, transmit, or otherwise communicate Confidential Information to any person, entity, or third party without the prior written consent of the Company;
  • Limited Use: To use Confidential Information solely and exclusively in the performance of assigned duties on behalf of the Company. No personal use, benefit, or commercial use of Confidential Information is permitted;
  • Protection: To exercise the same degree of care in protecting Confidential Information as the Employee exercises to protect their own confidential information — and in no event less than reasonable care;
  • No Copying or Reproduction: Not to copy, record, photograph, screenshot, or otherwise reproduce Confidential Information except as specifically required for job performance and authorized by supervisory staff;
  • Reporting: To immediately report any unauthorized disclosure or suspected breach of Confidential Information to the Company's management.
4 Duration

The obligations of confidentiality set forth in this Agreement shall apply during the entire period of the Employee's employment with the Company and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of two (2) years following the termination of employment, regardless of the reason for termination.

The Employee acknowledges that certain categories of Confidential Information — including client identities, security protocols, and site-specific information — may retain their sensitive nature beyond this period, and that post-employment disclosure could cause ongoing harm to clients and to the Company's operations and reputation.

5 Exceptions to Confidentiality Obligations

The confidentiality obligations in this Agreement do not apply to information that:

  • Was already in the public domain at the time of disclosure and did not enter the public domain through any breach of this Agreement;
  • Was independently known to the Employee prior to disclosure by the Company, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records;
  • Is required to be disclosed by applicable law, court order, or valid regulatory demand — provided that the Employee provides the Company with prompt written notice of such requirement (to the extent legally permissible) and cooperates with the Company in seeking a protective order;
  • Is disclosed with the prior written consent of the Company.

The Employee bears the burden of proving that any particular information falls within one of the exceptions listed above.

6 Return or Destruction of Materials

Upon termination of employment for any reason — or upon the Company's written request at any time — the Employee shall promptly return or, at the Company's election, permanently destroy all materials containing Confidential Information, including all copies, notes, summaries, and derivative works in any form or medium. The Employee shall certify in writing that all such materials have been returned or destroyed upon request.

7 Remedies

The Employee acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information could cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Company and its clients — harm for which monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and other equitable remedies, without bond, in addition to any other legal remedies available.

The Employee agrees that the Company may seek temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in Clark County, Nevada, without prior notice to the Employee if circumstances require emergency relief. This Section shall not be construed to limit the Company's right to pursue all available legal remedies.

8 Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any action to enforce this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

9 General Provisions
  • Entire Agreement: This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supplements, but does not replace, the Employment Agreement.
  • Severability: If any provision is found to be unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and all remaining provisions shall remain in effect.
  • Waiver: No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing. Failure to enforce a provision in one instance shall not waive enforcement rights in future instances.
  • Amendment: This Agreement may only be modified by a written document signed by both parties.
