Personal Information
At ISC-Capital.com, we intend to give
you as much control as possible over your personal information. In general, you can visit
ISC on the Web without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself.
There are times, however, when we may need information from you, such as your name and
address. It is our intent to let you know before we collect personal information from you
on the Internet.
If you choose to give us personal
information via the Internet that we or our business partners may need -- to correspond
with you, process an order or provide you with a subscription, for example -- it is our
intent to let you know how we will use such information. If you tell us that you do not
wish to have this information used as a basis for further contact with you, we will
respect your wishes. We do keep track of the domains from which people visit us.
We
analyze this data for trends and statistics, and then we discard it.
We have implemented these practices for
the ISC Home Page (www.isc-capital.com).
We are also
instructing our employees to include information on privacy practices everywhere
information is collected on the ISC Web, tailored to what that portion of the site does
and reflecting the practices outlined here.

referred to as "Confidential Information." ISC agrees that it will not disclose
any Confidential Information to any person who is not a director, officer or employee of
ISC or counsel to ISC without the consent of the Client and will not use such information
for any purpose other than the provision of consulting services in connection with capital
acquisition. Information that (i) is in the possession of ISC prior to the commencement of
the Study, (ii) is or becomes available in the public domain through no fault of ISC , or
(iii) is not acquired by ISC from the Client or from sources known by ISC to be in breach
of an obligation of secrecy to the Client will, of course, not be deemed Confidential
Information.
ISC represents that each of its consultants is formally
apprised of his or her obligations under the ISC Code of Professional Responsibility.
This
Code is designed to instruct individual consultants on the importance of safeguarding the
confidentiality of all client affairs and information by, among other things, not
disclosing to any unauthorized person any information whatsoever not generally available
to the public (including contents of any reports, memoranda, or other materials)
concerning the operations and affairs of any client of ISC.
In the event that ISC receives a request to disclose all
or any part of any Confidential Information under the terms of a valid and effective
subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial or
administrative agency or legislative body or committee, ISC agrees to (a) immediately
notify the Client of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request, (b)
consult with the Client on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or
narrow such request, and (c) if disclosure of such Confidential Information is required or
deemed advisable, exercise its best efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance
that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential
Information to be disclosed which the Client designates. ISC shall be entitled to
reimbursement for its expenses, including the fees and expenses of its counsel, in
connection with action taken pursuant to this paragraph.
All records, notes, documents, drawings, written
specifications and other tangible information supplied by the Client to ISC in connection
with this engagement and marked or designated by the Client as confidential, and all
copies, reprints, reproductions or translations thereof made by ISC, will, upon request,
be returned by ISC to the Client. |
