Non-Disclosure Agreement for protecting confidential information. Mutual and one-way versions available.
One-way NDA (unilateral): Only one party shares confidential information. Common when you're pitching a product, sharing source code, or revealing business strategy to a potential partner or employee.
Mutual NDA (bilateral): Both parties share confidential information. Common in partnership discussions, joint ventures, or negotiations where both sides reveal sensitive data.
This template includes both versions — choose the appropriate one in the editor.
Typically 2-5 years for business information, and longer (or indefinite) for trade secrets. Courts generally won't enforce NDAs longer than 5-7 years unless the information is genuinely a trade secret.
NDAs are enforceable in most jurisdictions, but enforcement mechanisms differ. Specify the governing law (e.g., "laws of Delaware") and consider including an arbitration clause for international disputes to avoid costly cross-border litigation.
Yes, an employee can refuse, but most employers will condition employment on signing. In some jurisdictions (e.g., California), NDAs cannot prevent employees from discussing workplace harassment or illegal activity.
For routine business NDAs (simple pitches, freelance work, basic partnerships), this template is sufficient. For high-stakes situations (trade secrets, M&A, regulated industries), consult a licensed attorney who understands your specific jurisdiction.
