b. probably not, although most of the duties agents owe to their principals could apply, such the duty to maintain confidentiality.

Explanation:

Ward may probably not have been subjected to the same duties that full-time taser employees have with respect to their employer (the principal), although most of the duties agents owe to their principals could apply to him, such as the duty to maintain confidentiality.

Thus, Ward is required by rules and regulations of Taser international to always maintain confidentiality in his operations without divulging sensitive information to other people.
