What is a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)?
A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), also known as a confidentiality agreement, is a legally binding contract that establishes a confidential relationship between parties. The party or parties signing the agreement agree that sensitive information they may obtain will not be disclosed to others.
Key components of an NDA
- Definition of Confidential Information: What information is considered confidential
- Exclusions: What information is not considered confidential
- Obligations: How the receiving party must protect the information
- Time Period: How long the confidentiality obligations last
- Permitted Disclosures: When confidential information can be shared
- Return of Materials: Requirements to return or destroy confidential information
- Remedies: Consequences for breaching the agreement
- Governing Law: Which jurisdiction's laws apply
A properly drafted NDA helps protect trade secrets, business strategies, client information, and other proprietary data from being shared with competitors or the public.
