Payment Authorization Form

A Design Partnership may receive or have access to private, personal, or confidential information relating to Client’s business, clients, and/ or staff (the “Confidential Information.”) A Design Partnership will not use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than providing the services. It shall not disclose, permit the disclosure of, or reproduce any part of the Confidential Information without the Client’s express prior consent unless it is compelled to do so by legal process, subpoena, or government order, but then only to the extent required. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other party has expended and will continue to expend significant time, effort and resources in the hiring, training and development of an unusual and extraordinary workforce whose identities and abilities the parties would not know of or learn, but for each party’s relationship with the other party. Each party therefore agrees that, during the term of this agreement and for a period of three (3) years after the date of termination of this agreement for any reason, each party shall not, directly or indirectly (a) solicit, or attempt to solicit, any employee or consultant of the other party to work for, contract with, become a partner with or otherwise be retained by such party or any other person or entity; (b) assist or advise any other entity or person in hiring, employing, retaining or soliciting such employees or consultants; or (c) encourage any such employee or consultant to be hired, employed, retained or solicited by any other person or entity.
