Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / non-disclosure
Spanish term or phrase: individuales de información
This phrase occurs in the non-disclosure clause of a contract for the construction of an industrial plant:

CONTEXT: "Cualquier combinación de varios ítems de información no será considerada parte de las excepciones precedentes exclusivamente porque ***individuales de información*** estén dentro de una o más excepciones, sino que solamente si la combinación misma cae dentro de una de las excepciones precedentes."

individual items/components of information
Explanation:
Hi,

I agree it's pretty shoddy, to put it mildly.

Basically what it's saying is that the exceptions to the non-disclosure obligation don't apply a to piece of information merely because one of its components has been defined earlier.

The specific combination of "items" must be expressly excluded.

i.e. a piece of information whose components are A, B and C is not excluded merely because in a previous clause A or B or C were individually mentioned.

"individuales" refers back to the antecedent "items";

"........ exclusivamente porque (algunos de sus items) individuales de información estén dentro de una o más excepciones..."

I don't really like my suggestion but that's the meaning.

I still have no idea if this is correct or not (given the original text!), but this makes the most sense, and seems to fit the context.

Thanks!
