Confidentiality & Non-Circumvention Notice

LandBank spends its own time and resources identifying, screening, qualifying and introducing solar-land opportunities. That work includes locating land that may have a better commercial use, establishing whether a landowner has a genuine appetite for grid-export solar, identifying the person able to discuss the site, and preparing an opportunity so that a downstream project company, funder or delivery party can consider it.

The value in that work sits in the origination itself: which land, which landowner, which counterparty, and on what basis a conversation is worth having.

Where information is identified as confidential, or where the circumstances reasonably import an obligation of confidence, LandBank treats the following as commercially sensitive:

• the identity of a landowner, site, project company, funder or delivery party;
• the fact and content of an introduction made by LandBank;
• site details, available acreage, screening outputs and constraint information prepared or assembled by LandBank;
• commercial discussions, indicative terms and relationship information.

A recipient of a LandBank introduction or of confidential opportunity information should not knowingly use it to bypass LandBank and transact directly with the other party merely to avoid LandBank’s role in bringing them together.

We raise this openly rather than defensively. Introductions work best where everyone understands the basis on which they were made.

Transaction-specific confidentiality and non-circumvention obligations should be captured in writing: introduction terms, a non-disclosure agreement, heads of terms or another agreement signed by the parties concerned. This website notice states our commercial position and is not a substitute for that documentation.

Nothing here applies to information that:

• was already known to the recipient without any obligation of confidence;
• is lawfully obtained from a third party who is free to disclose it without restriction;
• is, or becomes, public other than through a breach of an obligation of confidence;
• is independently developed without use of the confidential information;
• must be disclosed by law or by a competent authority.

This notice, and any question about it, is governed by the law of England and Wales, consistent with our Website Terms & Disclaimer. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
