NDA Generator

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a legally binding contract that protects confidential information shared between parties. You need one before sharing trade secrets, business strategies, client lists, proprietary code, financial data, or any sensitive information with employees, contractors, partners, or potential investors. An NDA establishes legal consequences for unauthorized disclosure.

A one-way (unilateral) NDA protects only one party's confidential information, typically used when hiring contractors or sharing information with potential investors. A mutual (bilateral) NDA protects both parties' confidential information, ideal for partnerships, joint ventures, or situations where both sides share sensitive data. Mutual NDAs are more common in business-to-business relationships.

NDA duration depends on the nature of the information being protected. Most NDAs last 1-3 years, but trade secrets may warrant indefinite protection. For general business discussions, 2 years is standard. For technology or product secrets, 3-5 years is common. Some jurisdictions may limit enforceable NDA durations, so consult local legal advice for your specific situation.

This tool generates an NDA outline and template for reference purposes. While it covers standard NDA sections, we recommend having a qualified attorney review any agreement before signing. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction, and a lawyer can ensure your NDA is enforceable in your specific location and circumstances.
