Common use of Embargo Clause in Contracts

Embargo. The graduation thesis uploaded via the repository excluding the confidential annex is open to the public. The company will send to TU Delft and the student a reasoned written request for non-publication. The company and the student may agree that the uploaded graduation thesis may not be made public for a maximum period of two years after the student’s graduation. This period of non-publicity of the graduation thesis is called the embargo. During the embargo, TU Delft will also keep the graduation thesis confidential. The embargo will not prevent the student from graduating. The company is not allowed to consider the student’s graduation thesis as a trade secret within the meaning of the Trade Secrets Act (“Wet Bescherming Bedrijfsgeheimen), excluding the confidential annex. If the company wants an embargo to last longer than 2 years, the company must submit one month in advance of submission of the graduation thesis to TU Delft, a written motivation request to the Executive Board of TU Delft to extend this period with a maximum extension of 3 years. The graduation thesis should be included in this written request as the Executive Board evaluates whether the extension request is necessary and reasonable based on its contents. The Executive Board shall take a decision at its own discretion and shall communicate the decision to the company within one month after the receipt of the written extension request. When the student uploads the graduation thesis to the repository, the student should indicate if there is an embargo and its duration. The embargo is not applicable to the metadata in the repository. Metadata are title, author, contributors, education code, date, summary.
