The employee is informed that he or she could be held liable, among other things, for double damages, including legal fees. As a result, this document will make some effort to address the concept of confidential information as well as the employee`s recruitment and behaviour with respect to the information provided by his or her employer. It goes without saying that staff should have sufficient time to conduct a thorough review of all of these conditions so that a knowledge-of-trade signature can be submitted at the end of this document. Once this agreement is signed, it will have the same power of commitment as a contract, so it will be enforceable in court. THE CONSIDÉRANT recognizes the health agency`s responsibility to comply with legal requirements and to ensure that its staff comply with legal standards for the protection of the patient`s confidential information. (a) relationships. Nothing included in this agreement is considered a partner, joint venture or worker of the other party for any purpose. b) severability. If a court finds that a provision in this agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the rest of that agreement is interpreted as best consistent with the intent of the parties.

c) integration. This agreement expresses the parties` full understanding of the issue and replaces all previous proposals, agreements, representations and agreements. This agreement can only be amended in a letter signed by both parties. (d) waiver. The non-exercise of a right under this agreement does not constitute a waiver of prior or subsequent rights. (e) aid in omission. Any misappropriation of confidential information that contravenes this agreement may cause irreparable harm to the supplier, the amount of which may be difficult to determine, and the employee therefore agrees that the supplier has the right to ask a competent court for a decision granting such a diversion and another discharge that the supplier deems appropriate. This supplier`s right must be respected in addition to the supplier`s other remedies. (f) legal fees and fees. In the event of litigation arising from or related to this agreement, the dominant party has the right to recover from the other party the legal fees and the necessary costs and expenses.
