Everything you need to know about Non-Disclosure Agreements
When do I need an NDA?
Use an NDA whenever sharing confidential information with employees, contractors, business partners, or potential investors. Common situations include: hiring new employees with access to trade secrets, working with freelancers on sensitive projects, discussing business ideas with potential partners, or sharing financial information during due diligence.
Mutual vs. Unilateral NDA - which one?
A unilateral NDA protects one party's information (you share secrets with them, they keep it confidential). Use this for employees or contractors. A mutual NDA protects both parties (both share confidential information). Use this for partnerships, collaborations, or merger discussions where both sides exchange sensitive data.
How long should an NDA last?
Typical NDA terms range from 2-5 years, depending on your industry and the nature of the information. For rapidly changing industries (tech, software), 2-3 years is common. For trade secrets or long-term business strategies, 5 years or indefinite terms may be appropriate. Consider how long the information will remain valuable and confidential.
Can I use this for employees and contractors?
Yes, NDAs work for both employees and independent contractors. However, for employees, you might want to include confidentiality clauses directly in the Employment Contract. For contractors, a standalone NDA or confidentiality clause in the Independent Contractor Agreement is standard practice.
What happens if someone breaches the NDA?
If someone breaches an NDA, you can seek legal remedies including injunctive relief (court order to stop further disclosure), monetary damages for losses caused by the breach, and in some cases, return of confidential materials. Having a properly drafted NDA makes enforcement much easier if you need to take legal action.
