MUTUAL NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

 

Overview

 

Nondisclosure agreements (also called NDAs or confidentiality agreements) have become increasingly important for businesses of all sizes, serving as the first line of defense in protecting inventions, trade secrets, and hard work. These agreements are used when at least one person is sharing confidential information with someone else, and protect the immediate and future privacy of that disclosed information. Once signed, a nondisclosure agreement allows for open dialogue between parties, creating an environment in which information can be discussed freely and the true objectives of the meeting or relationship can be achieved (for example, a company may be created or a strategic partnership may be established).

 

There are two key types of nondisclosure agreements: unilateral and mutual. Mutual nondisclosure agreements (like the agreement in this document) should be used when both parties will be sharing confidential information, as when the parties are considering the creation of a partnership, joint venture, or merger. Unilateral nondisclosure agreements should be used when only one side will be sharing confidential information, as when one party is seeking funding for or investment in a company.
