Non-disclosure agreement · Version 1.0 · 15 September 2026

1. Parties and purpose

This agreement is between Whites Science Innovation Limited (“WSI” or the “Receiving Party”), Cunningham Way, Watford, United Kingdom, email info@firstdraftz.ai, and the client identified in the signature record below (“Client” or the “Disclosing Party”). It covers information supplied for evaluating, preparing and delivering IPR application first drafts and related drawings for India or the United States (the “Purpose”).

2. Confidential information

Confidential Information includes non-public inventions, know-how, specifications, formulas, algorithms, research, designs, drawings, results, commercial plans, personal details and related communications disclosed for the Purpose, together with copies, extracts and drafts reflecting them. Information need not be marked confidential if its nature or the circumstances reasonably indicate confidentiality.

3. WSI’s obligations

WSI will use Confidential Information only for the Purpose; exercise at least reasonable care to protect it; and disclose it only to personnel, reviewers, advisers and service providers who need access for the Purpose and are bound by suitable confidentiality obligations. WSI remains responsible for compliance by people and providers acting on its behalf.

AI tools may be used only under settings and contractual arrangements consistent with these obligations. WSI must not permit client Confidential Information to be used for general model training or unrelated purposes without the Client’s separate written permission. WSI will not publish the invention, use it for its own application, or disclose it to another client.

4. Exceptions and required disclosure

The obligations do not cover information WSI can demonstrate was already lawfully known without restriction, becomes public without breach, is lawfully received from an independent third party, or is independently developed without using the Client’s information. If disclosure is legally compelled, WSI will, where lawful, notify the Client promptly, disclose only what is required and reasonably assist protective measures.

5. Ownership and permitted use

All rights in the Client’s information and inventions remain with the Client or their rightful owner. Disclosure grants only the limited permission needed for the Purpose. WSI acquires no right to exploit the invention. Ownership of paid deliverables is addressed in the service terms. The Client confirms authority to share submitted material.

6. Return, deletion and incidents

On written request, WSI will promptly return or delete Confidential Information, subject to records required by law or reasonably needed to evidence the engagement, and backup copies not practicably separable. Retained material remains protected, cannot be used for another purpose, and must be deleted when the retention reason ends. WSI will notify the Client without undue delay after discovering unauthorised access or disclosure affecting their information and reasonably cooperate to contain it.

7. Duration

This agreement takes effect when the Client signs and covers disclosures for the Purpose from that date. It continues for three years unless ended earlier by written notice. Ending it does not release duties concerning information already received: those duties continue for five years after the last disclosure, and for trade secrets for as long as they remain trade secrets under applicable law.

8. No obligation to purchase

Signing this NDA does not require an order or payment and does not guarantee an application outcome. Service scope, fees, timing and cancellation are governed by the separately accepted invoice and service terms. The Client can seek remedies available under law for breach; nothing limits mandatory rights.

9. Law and electronic execution

The law of England and Wales governs this agreement, subject to mandatory rights applicable to the Client. Courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, without removing any mandatory consumer right to use another competent court. The parties agree to execute this agreement using typed electronic signatures and exchange it by email. Each signatory confirms their intention to be bound and authority to sign for the named party. The Client must email the signed copy to WSI with the work submission so both parties retain it.
