Trade Secret Agreement
Trade secret framework: scope of dealer pricing, technical drawings, and portal credentials, limits of use, sharing rules, and duration.
Last updated: October 2026
1. Scope
This document governs trade secrecy, not the privacy of personal data. The following information shared by FENETRE Systems San. ve Tic. Ltd. Şti. (“FENETRE”) during dealership, supply or distributorship negotiations and work is considered confidential information:
- dealer-specific purchase prices and discount rates,
- the content of prepared quotations and pro formas,
- technical drawings, installation documentation and production information,
- dealer portal access credentials and portal content,
- new product and series plans, work not yet announced.
2. Limit on Use
Confidential information is used only for the purpose for which it was shared: quoting, order fulfilment, installation and after-sales service. Using or sharing the information in a way that benefits a third party is prohibited.
The dealer's resale prices are at its own discretion; this document contains no rule that fixes or restricts the dealer's sale prices — the confidentiality of dealer purchase prices does not amount to resale price control.
3. Sharing Conditions
Confidential information may be shared only with the counterparty's employees and advisers who need to know it for their work; those persons must be bound by the same duty of confidentiality. Sharing with unauthorised third parties or competitors is prohibited.
4. Exceptions
The duty of confidentiality does not apply to information that:
- was publicly available before it was shared,
- was developed independently by the counterparty or obtained by other legitimate means,
- must be disclosed by court order, enforcement action or regulation — where possible with prior notice.
5. Duration and Breach
The duty of confidentiality remains in force for the duration of the business relationship and for 3 years after it ends. A breach or suspected breach is reported to the counterparty without delay; rights relating to remedying the damage are reserved.
6. Termination of the Relationship
When the relationship ends, printed confidential documents are returned or destroyed; portal access is closed and deletion of digital copies may be requested.
The Turkish version of this document is the legally binding text.
