Ever wondered what happens to confidentiality clauses after a contract ends? Tune in to our latest NASPO Pulse episode as Telice Gillom and Megan Smyth, NASPO’s Director of Legal Education, break down the complexities of contract terms and conditions.
We’ll guide you through the significance of survivability and severability clauses, illustrating how they protect crucial elements like intellectual property and indemnification long after the ink has dried. Plus, you’ll get a sneak peek into NASPO’s Law Institute and why it’s vital for anyone involved in procurement.
But that’s not all! We also dive into the evolving world of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), exploring both the perks and pitfalls of mediation and arbitration. Learn why mediation often proves to be a confidential lifeline and how binding arbitration could trap you into unappealable decisions through hidden click-through agreements. As we dissect the risks associated with click-through agreements and data compliance, you’ll gain practical insights into safeguarding public data in the digital age. Don’t miss this essential episode that blends legal expertise with actionable procurement strategies.
