Conflicts of Interest and Confidentiality. 17.1 As far as we know, we do not have a conflict of interest in relation to your current instructions. Conflicts of interest can and do arise and, if this happens, we might have to stop acting for you. This might be, for example, because we have discovered information, while acting for another client, which we would normally have to tell you, but telling you would conflict with our duty to the other client, in which case we reserve the right to withhold this information and to stop acting for you. In certain circumstances, we may continue to act for the other client, but only if we are able to observe our duty of confidentiality to you. 17.2 We act for many clients at any one time; some of them may operate in the same industry or sector as you do. You agree that the fact that other current or future clients may have, or may develop, commercial interests adverse to you will not of itself prevent us from acting for them. We will, however, always carefully consider our professional obligations in relation to instructions from you or any other client. We have rigorous procedures in place to identify conflicts of interest and to preserve the confidentiality of information we receive. 17.3 We maintain databases of legal know-how, to which advice and documentation relating to your work may be added. These databases are securely maintained and will not affect our obligations of confidentiality to you.
Conflicts of Interest and ConfidentialitySubject to applicable professional conduct rules, where we have information in respect of which we owe you a duty of confidentiality and which is or may be material to a matter on which we are acting for another client, we may act for that other client, provided we put in place arrangements, such as “ethical” or “information” screens, which are reasonably appropriate in the circumstances to ensure that the confidentiality of your information is maintained.
Conflicts of Interest and ConfidentialityConflict of Interest. Distributors are free to participate in other multilevel or network marketing business ventures. However, during the term of this agreement, distributors may not recruit other Company distributors or customers for any other network marketing business except their personally enrolled Distributors. Distributors may not engage in raiding of the Company or setting up mass migration of distributors into another Company. This will be considered tortuous business interference and the distributor will be liable for the economic damages incurred by the Company. Following the cancellation of this agreement for any reason, and for a period of six months thereafter, a former Distributor may not recruit any Company distributor or customer for another network marketing business if that distributor or customer was not a personally enrolled Distributor. The term recruit means actual or attempted solicitation, enrollment, encouragement, or effort to influence in any other way, either directly or through a third party, another Company Distributor or customer to enroll or participate in another multilevel marketing, network marketing or direct sales opportunity. This conduct constitutes recruiting even if the Distributors actions are in response to an inquiry made by another Distributor or customer.
Conflicts of Interest and ConfidentialityConflicts of interest between covered persons (e.g., Eligible Applicants, recipients, program administrator, contractors, or program staff) and other parties are strictly prohibited by Federal law. A “covered person” is an employee, agent, consultant, officer, or elected official or appointed official of the State, or of a unit of general local government, or any designated public agencies, or recipients that are receiving CDBG-DR funds. Generally, no person who is a covered person, and who exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to CDBG-DR activities and who are in a position to participate in a decision making process or gain inside information with regard to such activities, may obtain a financial interest or benefit from the activity, or have an interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement with respect thereto, or the proceeds thereunder, either for themselves or those with whom they have family or business ties, during their tenure or for one year thereafter. The conflict of interest regulations contained in the contract between the recipient and HCD prohibit locally elected officials, State staff, recipient employees, and consultants who exercise functions with respect to CDBG-DR activities or who are in a position to participate in a decision-making process or gain inside information with regard to such activities, from receiving any benefit from the activity either for themselves or for those with who they have family or business ties, during their tenure or for one year thereafter.
