Projects Information

Supplier Notification Templates

Use these when sharing confidential information with suppliers under an NDA. Select the appropriate option based on the applicable NDA.

Option 1 — Short notice in RFQ email

Satisfies: SEFPPL Clause 3.3 (notification only required)

The information contained in this request for quotation, including the client name, end user, project details, and any accompanying documents, is confidential in nature. It is disclosed to you solely for the purpose of obtaining a quotation for this project. You must not disclose it to any third party or use it for any other purpose.

Option 2 — Document header/footer stamp

Satisfies: SEFPPL Clause 3.3 (notification only required)

CONFIDENTIAL — This document contains confidential information disclosed under a Non-Disclosure Agreement. It is provided solely for quotation purposes. Unauthorised disclosure or use is prohibited.

Option 3 — Formal notice requiring written acknowledgement

Required for: Hanwha (supplier must agree); OFS/MODEC (only after written consent from OFS obtained)

The information and documents shared herewith are confidential and proprietary. They are disclosed to you strictly on a need-to-know basis for the purpose of providing a quotation in connection with the above-referenced project. By receiving this information, you agree to: (i) maintain its confidentiality; (ii) not disclose it to any third party; and (iii) use it solely for the stated purpose. Please confirm receipt and acceptance of these conditions by return email.

Which option to use

NDA Minimum required Template to use
SEFPPL Notify supplier it is confidential (Cl. 3.3) Option 1 or 2
Hanwha Supplier must agree to confidentiality Option 3 (get reply)
OFS/MODEC Written consent from OFS first, then notify Option 3 + back-to-back NDA
GEV Sub-supplier must be bound by confidentiality (Cl. 2) Option 3 or back-to-back NDA
Ekium Written consent from Ekium first, then back-to-back NDA (Cl. 2.1(f)) Option 3 + back-to-back NDA

OFS/MODEC NDA Obligations

Can We Share Project Details with Suppliers?

No - Not without prior written consent from OFS.

Information Can Share? Conditions
OFS/MODEC (client name) No Requires written consent
End user name No Requires written consent
Project name No Requires written consent
Project existence No Clause 2.2 prohibits this
Technical specs/drawings No Requires written consent

What We Can Do

  • Share with JEN's own directors, officers, and employees (need-to-know)
  • Use information solely for the stated project Purpose
  • Disclose if legally compelled (subpoena, court order)

What We Cannot Do

  • Disclose to suppliers without OFS's prior written consent
  • Reveal the project exists or that we're working on it (Clause 2.2)
  • Reveal the NDA exists (Clause 2.2)
  • Use information for any purpose other than the specific project
  • Assign or transfer the agreement without consent

Export Control Considerations

For export-controlled equipment (e.g., Cisco, Servers, dual-use items), suppliers are legally required to verify end-user information before providing quotations due to regulations such as US EAR and EU Dual-Use.

This creates a conflict with restrictive NDAs like OFS/MODEC that prohibit disclosure of end-user details.

How to Handle Export-Controlled Items

Option 1: Get written consent (Recommended) Request permission from the client (e.g., OFS) to disclose end-user and project details specifically for export control compliance purposes.

Option 2: Rely on legal exception Most NDAs (including OFS Clause 5(d)) allow disclosure when required by law. Export control compliance is a legal requirement. However, best practice is still to notify the client first.

When signing restrictive NDAs for new projects, request upfront a blanket written consent:

"Client consents to JEN disclosing end-user information to suppliers solely for export control compliance purposes."

This avoids delays when sourcing controlled equipment.

Comparison: Hanwha vs OFS/MODEC

Aspect Hanwha NDA OFS/MODEC NDA
Share with suppliers Permitted Not permitted without written consent
Reveal project exists Yes No
Reveal end user/client Yes No
Return timeframe 30 days 10 days

Conclusion

OFS/MODEC NDA is more restrictive. Before contacting suppliers for quotations on OFS projects:

  1. Obtain prior written consent from OFS to share project details, OR
  2. Provide suppliers only generic specs without revealing OFS, client, or project name

NDA Obligations with Hanwha

Can We Share Project Details with Suppliers?

Yes - Clause 3.b permits disclosure to sub-suppliers/subcontractors.

Information Can Share? Conditions
Hanwha (purchaser name) Yes Stated in NDA preamble
Petrobras (end user) Yes Stated in NDA preamble
P91 (project name) Yes Stated in NDA preamble
Technical specs/drawings Yes Supplier must agree to confidentiality

What We Must Do

  • Inform suppliers of the confidential nature of any Confidential Information
  • Have suppliers agree to keep Confidential Information confidential
  • For detailed technical sharing, have suppliers sign a back-to-back NDA

What We Cannot Do

  • Use Confidential Information for any purpose other than P91 project
  • Share with parties who have no need-to-know for the project
  • Assign NDA rights without Hanwha's written consent

Conclusion

We can disclose Hanwha, Petrobras, and P91 to suppliers when requesting quotations. For detailed technical/commercial information, ensure suppliers have confidentiality obligations in place.

NDA Obligations with SEFPPL

  • NDA between: Jason Energy Pte. Ltd. (Party B) and Seatrium Energy (Fixed Platforms) Pte. Ltd. (SEFPPL / Party A)
  • Purpose: Exploring potential opportunities in connection with SEFPPL's Offshore Wind Energy Projects

  • Term: 5 years from Effective Date (expires 12 May 2031); confidentiality obligations survive a further 5 years after termination
  • Type: Two-way (mutual) NDA
  • Governing Law: Singapore (SIAC arbitration)

Can We Share Project Details with Suppliers?

Yes - Clause 3.3 explicitly permits it, with conditions.

Information Can Share? Conditions
SEFPPL (client name) Yes Clause 3.3 — notify supplier it is confidential
End user name Yes Clause 3.3 — notify supplier it is confidential
Project name/details Yes Clause 3.3 — notify supplier it is confidential
Technical specs/drawings Yes Need-to-know basis; supplier must be bound by NDA

What We Can Do

  • Share with JEN's directors, officers, employees, advisers, and contractors on a need-to-know basis
  • Disclose SEFPPL's identity, end user, and project details to suppliers/subcontractors to obtain quotations and for export control compliance (Clause 3.3)
  • Use information solely for the Offshore Wind Energy Project Purpose
  • Disclose if legally compelled (court order, regulatory requirement) — notify SEFPPL first if law permits

What We Cannot Do

  • Use confidential information for any purpose other than the Offshore Wind Energy Projects
  • Make any public announcements about the discussions without written consent from both parties (Clause 9.6)
  • Assign or transfer the agreement without SEFPPL's written consent
  • Claim any IP or ownership rights over SEFPPL's confidential information
  • Use unsecured AI tools — cloud-based, self-learning, or "open" AI systems (e.g., standard consumer LLMs) are expressly prohibited for processing confidential information (Clauses 3.8–3.11)

AI Usage Restrictions (Clause 3.8–3.11)

This NDA has unusually strict AI provisions. AI tools are only permitted if:

  1. The provider has contractually committed to no model training on the data
  2. There is no disclosure to third parties outside the processing purpose
  3. Processing occurs on-premises (isolated, no external server connection) or via a secure API with explicit confidentiality guarantees

Open, cloud-based, or self-learning AI systems are expressly prohibited. If we intend to use any AI system, we must disclose the system and its safeguards to SEFPPL upon request.

Return of Confidential Information

Within 30 days of a written request or termination, JEN must: - Return or destroy all documents and materials containing confidential information - Erase all confidential information from systems and third-party storage - Provide written certification of compliance

Comparison: SEFPPL vs OFS/MODEC vs Hanwha

Aspect SEFPPL NDA OFS/MODEC NDA Hanwha NDA GEV NDA Ekium NDA
Share with suppliers Permitted (Clause 3.3) Not permitted without written consent Permitted (Clause 3.b) Permitted if bound by confidentiality (Cl. 2) Not permitted — written consent + back-to-back NDA required (Cl. 2.1(f))
Reveal client name Yes No Yes Yes (to Authorized Parties) No
Reveal end user/client Yes No Yes Yes (to Authorized Parties) No

NDA type Two-way (mutual) One-way One-way Two-way (mutual) Two-way (mutual)
Governing law Singapore (SIAC arbitration) Singapore Not specified Germany (Berlin jurisdiction) France (Commercial Court of Lyon)

Conclusion

SEFPPL NDA is supplier-friendly. Clause 3.3 gives explicit consent to share SEFPPL's identity, end user, and project details with suppliers for quotation and export control purposes — no further approval needed, as long as each supplier is notified the information is confidential.

The main watch-out is the strict AI prohibition: do not use standard cloud AI tools to process any confidential information received from SEFPPL.

NDA Obligations with GEV

  • NDA between: Jason Energy Pte. Ltd. ("Supplier") and GE Grid GmbH ("GEV"), Culemeyerstr. 1, 12277 Berlin
  • Purpose: General sourcing — potential transactions involving purchase and/or sale of goods, services, and/or other items
  • Type: Two-way (mutual) MNDA (GEV standard Grid Solutions Sourcing template, revised 14 March 2024)
  • Effective / Signed: 27 March 2026
  • Term: 2 years from signing, auto-renews for successive 2-year periods; either party may terminate with 30 days written notice
  • Confidentiality Survives: 10 years after disclosure of the respective Confidential Information
  • Governing Law: Federal Republic of Germany (excluding conflict of laws rules); jurisdiction: Berlin, Germany

Can We Share GEV Project Details with Our Sub-Suppliers?

Yes — Clause 2(c) permits disclosure to Authorized Parties, which explicitly includes subcontractors, subject to conditions.

Information Can Share? Conditions
GEV (client name) Yes Sub-supplier must be bound by confidentiality (Cl. 2)
Project name/details Yes Sub-supplier must be bound by confidentiality (Cl. 2)
Technical specs/drawings Yes Sub-supplier must follow Agreement terms or sign back-to-back NDA
That discussions/negotiations exist No Clause 2(d) prohibits disclosure to anyone outside Authorized Parties

What We Must Do

  • Advise sub-suppliers of the confidential nature of GEV's information before sharing (Clause 2)
  • Either: (a) direct sub-suppliers to abide by the terms of this Agreement, OR (b) ensure they are under a written agreement with confidentiality restrictions no less restrictive than this Agreement
  • Notify GEV immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized disclosure, loss, or breach (Clause 7)
  • Comply with all applicable export control laws before releasing any controlled technical data (Clause 8)

What We Cannot Do

  • Use GEV's Confidential Information for any purpose other than evaluating Transactions
  • Disclose to third parties (outside Authorized Parties) that discussions or negotiations with GEV are occurring (Clause 2(d))
  • Assign the Agreement to a third party without GEV's prior written consent (Clause 7)
  • Claim ownership of any IP created using GEV's Confidential Information — see IP clause below

Key Watch-Out: IP Ownership (Clause 5)

This clause is heavily one-sided. GEV claims exclusive ownership of all rights in: - Ideas, inventions, works of authorship, strategies, plans, and data created in or resulting from discussions between GEV and JEN, and/or - Anything made based on or using GEV's Confidential Information

This covers all patent rights, copyrights, moral rights, trade secrets, database rights, trademark rights, and all other IP. JEN must execute any assignments necessary to give effect to this.

Practical implication: Do not develop technical solutions, designs, or proposals based on GEV's specifications or confidential information expecting JEN to retain any IP rights. All such output belongs to GEV.

Export Control (Clause 8)

Both parties must comply with applicable export control laws (e.g., US EAR, EU Dual-Use). Technical data subject to export controls shall not be released without first obtaining any required governmental authority. JEN must indemnify GEV for any export control failures by JEN, its Affiliates, or its Authorized Parties.

Return of Confidential Information (Clause 4)

Upon termination or written request: - Immediately return all Confidential Information - Destroy and delete all Notes and electronic/digital copies - Provide written certification of destruction within 30 working days of receiving written notice

Exception: automated backup/archiving copies may be retained if they are (x) kept confidential and inaccessible in the regular course of business, (y) maintained with reasonable information security standards, and (z) deleted per retention policies.

Conclusion

GEV NDA permits sharing with JEN's sub-suppliers, provided those sub-suppliers are bound by confidentiality obligations — either by directing them to follow this Agreement or by putting a back-to-back written NDA in place. Use Option 3 as the minimum notification standard.

Three key watch-outs unique to this NDA:

  1. IP clause is one-sided and aggressive — GEV claims ownership of all IP derived from their Confidential Information or from joint discussions. This goes beyond standard NDAs.
  2. Confidentiality obligations last 10 years post-disclosure — the longest of all current NDAs.
  3. German law and Berlin jurisdiction — any dispute must be litigated in Germany under German law, unlike the Singapore-governed NDAs with other counterparties.

NDA Obligations with Ekium

  • NDA between: Jason Energy Pte. Ltd. ("JEN") and Ekium (French joint-stock company, Lyon, France)
  • Project: Venus Project
  • Purpose: Discussions on technical requirements and RFQ for the Venus Project
  • Type: Two-way (mutual) NDA
  • Effective Date: 05/08/2026 (DD/MM/YYYY — 5 August 2026)
  • Term: 12 months minimum; terminable by either party with 30 days written notice by courier
  • Confidentiality Survives: 5 years after expiration or termination
  • Governing Law: France (Commercial Court of Lyon / Tribunal de Commerce de Lyon)

Can We Share Project Details with Suppliers?

No — Not without prior written authorization from Ekium, and only if the supplier signs a back-to-back NDA.

Information Can Share? Conditions
Ekium (client name) No Requires prior written authorization from Ekium (Cl. 2.1(f))
Venus Project name No Requires prior written authorization from Ekium (Cl. 2.1(f))
Technical specs/drawings No Requires prior written authorization + back-to-back NDA (Cl. 2.1(f))
That discussions/NDA exist No Clause 2.3 prohibits disclosure of NDA existence and negotiations

What We Can Do

  • Share with JEN's own directors, officers, employees, and consultants on a strict need-to-know basis (Clause 2.1(a))
  • Use information solely for the Venus Project Purpose
  • Disclose if legally compelled (court order, administrative body) — notify Ekium promptly (Clause 3(e))

What We Cannot Do

  • Share with any third party without both: (a) prior written authorization from Ekium, AND (b) third party signing a back-to-back NDA no less strict than this Agreement (Clause 2.1(f))
  • Reveal that discussions or negotiations with Ekium are taking place (Clause 2.3)
  • Reveal the NDA exists (Clause 2.3)
  • Discuss the Venus Project with other third parties — see Exclusivity clause below
  • Use information for any purpose other than the Venus Project
  • Assign or transfer the agreement without Ekium's written consent

Key Watch-Out: Exclusivity Clause (Clause 6)

This NDA contains an exclusivity obligation not found in any of JEN's other current NDAs. Both parties commit to refrain from initiating or participating in any discussions with third parties regarding the Purpose (Venus Project technical requirements and RFQ). The exclusivity applies to affiliated companies as well, and runs for the full confidentiality period.

Practical implication: JEN must not approach other suppliers to discuss the Venus Project scope, technical requirements, or RFQ. This goes beyond confidentiality — it is an active commitment not to engage third parties on this project at all, unless Ekium grants prior written authorization.

Export Control (Clause 7)

The Disclosing Party (Ekium, when sharing technical data) is responsible for identifying any export-controlled information and notifying JEN. Ekium must indemnify JEN for export control failures arising from Ekium-provided information. Before releasing any controlled technical data, ensure compliance with EU Export Control regulations and any applicable national regulations.

Return of Confidential Information (Clause 4.2)

Upon written request or termination, JEN must promptly return or destroy all materials containing Confidential Information. Ekium may request written confirmation that materials have been returned or destroyed. No specific number of days is stipulated — obligation is to act "promptly."

Conclusion

Ekium NDA is highly restrictive — comparable to OFS/MODEC, with an additional exclusivity layer that makes it the most restrictive of JEN's current NDAs on the question of supplier engagement.

Three key watch-outs unique to this NDA:

  1. Exclusivity clause (Clause 6) — JEN cannot discuss the Venus Project with any other third party at all, not just a question of confidentiality. This effectively locks JEN into working only with Ekium on this project unless Ekium consents otherwise.
  2. Two requirements to share with suppliers — written consent from Ekium is not enough on its own; the supplier must also sign a back-to-back NDA. Both conditions must be satisfied (Clause 2.1(f)).
  3. French law and Lyon jurisdiction — any dispute is resolved in the Commercial Court of Lyon under French law, which is a different legal system from all other JEN NDAs.
