Confidentiality:
Dsplays considers its business
relationships with each of its suppliers and potential suppliers to be a
private matter between the two parties. Dsplays will treat information
received from suppliers in a responsible fashion, and expects suppliers to
treat information received from Dsplays in the same manner. Further, Dsplays
does not wish to receive from a supplier any information which is considered
to be confidential unless the supplier and Dsplays have entered into a
confidential disclosure agreement which covers such information.
Patents:
Dsplays does not knowingly infringe the patent rights of
others. Conversely Dsplays requires patent indemnification on all procured
materials. Dsplays will discuss ideas or inventions with outside individuals
and, where necessary, will contract for the development of special products.
In all such cases, appropriate contractual arrangements must be made in
advance.
Supplier diversity program:
Dsplays maintains a commitment to ensure a diverse supplier
base. It is our policy to provide opportunities in all areas of Dsplays
procurement, marketing and contracting activities to people of different
ethnic origins, women, people with disabilities, etc.
Gifts and
gratuities:
Dsplays employees and members of their families may not
solicit or accept gratuities from suppliers or prospective suppliers. Only
gifts can be accepted by employees.
Business
meals and entertainment:
Dsplays employees who deal
with suppliers may accept customary business amenities such as meals and
entertainment, provided the expenses involved are kept at a reasonable level
and are not prohibited by law or known supplier business practices. Dsplays
employees are expected to reciprocate and share these costs equally over
time.
Appropriate conduct on Dsplays premises:
All individuals on Dsplays premises are expected to engage in
appropriate conduct and behave in a business-like manner. Examples of
inappropriate conduct are being under the influence of or affected by
alcohol; use of illegal drugs; use of a controlled substance, except for
approved medical purposes; possession of a weapon of any sort; and/or
harassment threats or violent behaviour.
