What Is a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)?
A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a legally binding contract that establishes a confidential relationship between two or more parties. The signing parties agree that sensitive information they may obtain will not be shared with any outside parties. NDAs are also known as confidentiality agreements, confidential disclosure agreements, or secrecy agreements. They are commonly used before business discussions, partnerships, employment relationships, or any situation where proprietary information needs protection.

- •Be specific when defining confidential information — vague definitions may not hold up in court.
- •Consider whether you need a mutual (two-way) or unilateral (one-way) NDA based on your situation.
- •Set a reasonable duration — most NDAs last between 2 and 5 years.
- •Include a clause about what happens when the NDA expires or is terminated.
- •Have legal counsel review your NDA if it involves high-value intellectual property.
