The residuals' clause in the Virgin Islands includes specific language to provide clarity regarding the treatment of such residual information. One type of residuals clause that may be included in a Virgin Islands nondisclosure agreement is the "Limited Residuals Clause."

Another type of residuals clause that can be found in a Virgin Islands nondisclosure agreement is the "Absolute No Residuals Clause." This clause prohibits the use of any residual information obtained during the term of the agreement, regardless of whether it can be independently recreated or developed.

Ultimately, the Virgin Islands residuals clause for a basic nondisclosure agreement aims to prevent recipients from benefiting unfairly from residual information obtained during the course of their engagement with the disclosing party. It helps maintain the confidentiality and integrity of proprietary data even after the agreement comes to an end.
