1. What this covers
This agreement is between you and Vectyr LLC ("Vectyr"). It covers the documents in the confidential section of the Vectyr trust center, including security policies and standards, architecture and data-flow descriptions, questionnaire responses, control mappings, resilience plans, assessment summaries, and any other material Vectyr marks confidential and makes available to you through this trust center ("Confidential Material").
Confidential Material does not include information that is already public, that you already held without a duty of confidence, that you receive from a third party who is free to disclose it, or that you develop independently without reference to the Confidential Material.
2. How you may use it
You may use the Confidential Material to evaluate Vectyr as a supplier, to run a security, privacy, procurement, legal, or architecture review, and to advise your organization on whether to engage Vectyr. That is the permitted purpose.
You may share it inside your organization with colleagues who need it for that same purpose, and with outside advisers such as counsel, auditors, or consultants who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these terms. You remain responsible for their handling of it.
You may not publish it, post it to a public or shared repository outside your organization, give it to a Vectyr competitor, use it to build a competing offering, or use it for any purpose other than the permitted purpose.
3. How you will look after it
Protect the Confidential Material with at least the care you apply to your own confidential vendor documentation, and no less than a reasonable standard of care. Keep it inside systems your organization controls.
If you learn of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Material, tell Vectyr promptly at trust@vectyr.co so we can help contain it.
4. Required disclosure
If law, regulation, court order, or a public-records obligation requires you to disclose Confidential Material, you may do so. Where you are legally permitted, give Vectyr advance notice so we can seek protection or narrow the disclosure, and disclose only what is required.
We recognize that public universities, government bodies, and port authorities may be subject to public-records and freedom-of-information regimes. This clause is written to accommodate those obligations rather than conflict with them.
5. Term
These obligations start when you accept this agreement and continue for three years afterwards. If any Confidential Material is a trade secret, the obligations continue for as long as it remains one.
If you and Vectyr later sign a negotiated confidentiality or master agreement covering the same material, that agreement governs and supersedes this one.
6. No license, no warranty, no obligation to transact
Nothing here transfers ownership or grants a license to Vectyr intellectual property beyond the right to read and use the Confidential Material for the permitted purpose.
Vectyr provides the Confidential Material in good faith and keeps it accurate as of each document’s stated version and date, but provides it without warranty. Contractual security commitments come from a signed services agreement, not from this trust center.
Neither side is obliged to enter into any further agreement as a result of this one.
7. Access and revocation
Access is granted to you personally, tied to the work email address you verify. Do not share your access link or session with anyone else; ask colleagues to request their own access so the audit trail stays accurate.
Vectyr logs which confidential documents are opened and downloaded under each grant, and may revoke access at any time. Revoking access does not end your confidentiality obligations.
8. Governing law
This agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. If your organization requires a different governing law or a negotiated mutual NDA, contact trust@vectyr.co and we will sign yours instead.
