Confidential information includes, but is not limited to, business plans, financial information, trade secrets, and proprietary technology.
- Intellectual Property All intellectual property rights arising from the Services will remain the property of the Consultant unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. The Client will be granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the intellectual property created during the course of the Services for their internal business purposes only.
