Volunteer Non-Disclosure Agreement
1. The Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Montana.
2. The Parties. This Agreement is made as of the date signed by and between Alani Bankhead, the Disclosing Party, and you, the Volunteer, the Receiving Party, collectively referred to as the Parties.
3. Purpose of Disclosure. The purpose of this disclosure is to allow the Receiving Party to assist with campaign activities, including but not limited to voter outreach, fundraising, and strategic planning, while ensuring that non-public campaign information remains confidential. “Campaign” is defined as the campaign team for Alani Bankhead for US Senate as well as the Friends of Alani Bankhead committee, including its staff, contractors, and affiliated entities.
4. Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” includes all non-public data related to the campaign, such as:
- Voter and Donor Data: lists, contact information, and donation history.
- Campaign Strategy: polling results, internal memos, and future marketing plans.
- Candidate Information: private schedules and personal family details.
- Other: any information that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given the nature of the disclosure.
The Receiving Party agrees to take reasonable measures to protect Confidential Information, including secure passwords and avoiding unsecured networks. The Receiving Party shall not use Confidential Information to benefit any opposing candidate or political organization.
5. Return of Material. Upon termination of volunteer services or at the Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party must immediately return or securely destroy all physical and digital materials containing Confidential Information, including spreadsheets, emails, and campaign keys. All campaign tools and resources may only be used for campaign purposes.
6. Injunctive Relief. The Receiving Party acknowledges that a breach of this Agreement would cause “irreparable harm” that money alone cannot fix. Therefore, the Disclosing Party is entitled to seek an injunction to immediately stop any unauthorized disclosure. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
7. Employment Status. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment relationship. The Receiving Party agrees the position is categorized as volunteer work.
8. Breach Notification Requirement. The Receiving Party must promptly notify the Disclosing Party of any unauthorized disclosure or suspected breach, ideally immediately, or within 24 hours of disclosure.
9. Non-Solicitation. The Receiving Party shall not:
- Recruit Staff/Volunteers: persuade current campaign staff or volunteers to leave for a different organization, for a period of 24 months following the end of their service.
- Solicit Donors: use the campaign’s internal lists to solicit funds for another candidate or cause.
- Copy Information: copy, download, or store Confidential Information on personal devices or accounts without prior written consent.
10. Term. This Agreement remains in effect for the duration of the campaign and for a period of 5 years thereafter, or until the information becomes public through no fault of the Receiving Party.
11. Signatures. This Agreement is executed electronically. Your acceptance, your typed legal name, the date, and your affirmative agreement to these terms, is captured through the campaign’s secure intake form and retained on file. By submitting that form, you adopt your typed name as your electronic signature, with the same force and effect as a handwritten signature under the federal ESIGN Act and the Montana Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
