Company Information and Property Clause Samples
The 'Company Information and Property' clause defines the obligations regarding the use, protection, and return of a company's confidential information and physical or intellectual property. It typically requires employees or contractors to safeguard sensitive data, refrain from unauthorized disclosure, and return all company-owned materials—such as documents, devices, or proprietary information—upon termination of their engagement.
