Common use of Reproduction and Destruction Clause in Contracts

Reproduction and Destruction. Reproductions of documents or material containing RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED information shall be produced under conditions that can prevent unauthorised persons from gaining access. Material, including interim material, such as working drafts, shorthand notes or spoilt copies, containing RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED information must be destroyed in a manner to ensure that it cannot be easily reconstructed. Documents and computer storage media containing RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED information should be reviewed on regular intervals to determine whether they can be destroyed. To prevent unnecessary accumulation of RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED information, documents or data storage media containing such information, which is superseded or no longer needed, and provided there is no residual interest, should be destroyed as soon as practicable or returned to the originator.
