11. Employee duties for future projects and addenda

Different clients, partners, and projects may have different confidentiality requirements. These may include a separate NDA or an addendum covering how information is accessed, used, shared, stored, returned, or deleted.

By signing a work agreement that expressly incorporates this section, an employee agrees in advance to follow additional written confidentiality requirements for current and future projects they work on or whose confidential information they receive or access. Those requirements apply without a separate NDA signature only to the extent authorized by the signed work agreement and applicable law. This section applies to employees; it does not automatically amend a client's or partner's agreement.

Buildify must provide the requirements and their effective date in writing before granting access to the affected information or assigning work that requires it. Employees must follow the requirements when they take effect. If the client, partner, signed agreement, or applicable law requires a separate signature or acceptance, that step must be completed before access or work begins. Employees must report unexpected access and protect the information under their existing duties while the required steps are completed.

Publishing this page does not change an earlier signed agreement or establish that anyone already accepted this section. Earlier agreements remain governed by their accepted terms and amendment process. This section adds confidentiality duties only; it does not authorize unrelated contract changes.

No addendum may restrict legally protected discussions of wages or working conditions, organizing, reporting suspected legal violations, consulting an attorney, or cooperating with authorities. Applicable whistleblower protections and non-waivable employee rights remain in effect.
