Courts will uphold all agreements between parties provided they are validly made, even confidentiality agreements. So first you must ensure that the confidentiality agreement is a valid agreement. Once you have assured yourself of that, you need to look at what sort of "breach" you might want to claim if you are considering going to Court. The issue, in the event that you do go to Court, will be - what are the remedies that the Court will provide in order to remedy the "breach". Will the Court provide for "damages" or issue some sort of "injuncutory relief" or other sort of order that the breaching party will need to fulfill.

Hello! My name is Damien Bosco. My law office is located in Long Island City across from Manhattan. Having a Cloud Services Agreement (CSA) in place is a good idea when transitioning your company’s data storage and software applications to the cloud. The reason is that a CSA outlines the terms and conditions governing your relationship with the cloud service provider, helping to protect your business interests. Without an agreement, it may be unclear who is responsible for data loss, breaches, or downtime. In the absence of an agreement, you may have no legal framework to resolve disputes, which can leave you vulnerable. If you have a follow-up question or would like a consultation or further legal services, you can let me know. There should be a button on your page or app that allows you to request a proposal from me specifically for the legal service you request. Best regards.

I know people hate this answer from attorneys, but it depends on the wording of the contract and the specific facts of the situation. Most contracts will have a clause governing assignment of the contract to a third party. That clause will determine if the terms of the original contract are assignable to the new company operating the venue. If the contract is not assignable, or if the original operator decided not to assign the contract to the new operator, then you will have a new agreement with the new operator. Most contracts will also have a clause governing how the terms of the contract can be changed. If you would like a review of your situation and your contract, you can request a proposal for a review session. I generally do those at a flat fee, based on the length of the contract. I'm sure other attorneys would offer similar rates.
