Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a one-way and mutual NDA?

A one-way (unilateral) NDA binds only the receiving party — used when only one party is sharing secrets. A mutual NDA binds both parties — used when both sides will be sharing confidential information, such as in a partnership discussion.

Is this NDA legally enforceable?

This template covers the essential legal elements of an NDA. However, enforceability depends on jurisdiction, the specific circumstances, and proper execution (signing). Have a local attorney review it for high-stakes situations.

When should I use an NDA?

Use an NDA before sharing business plans with potential investors or partners, when hiring contractors with access to proprietary systems, during merger and acquisition discussions, or any time you share information you want kept confidential.

How long should an NDA last?

1–3 years is typical for most business NDAs. Some trade secrets (like formulas or source code) may warrant longer or indefinite protection. Courts may be less likely to enforce very long NDA terms depending on jurisdiction.

When you need an NDA

An NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) is essential any time you share proprietary business information with someone outside your company. Common scenarios include investor pitches, partnership discussions, hiring freelancers, vendor negotiations, and product development with contractors. An NDA makes clear what information is confidential and what happens if it is leaked.

One-way vs mutual NDA

A one-way NDA protects only one party's information — typically used when a company shares secrets with a contractor or employee. A mutual NDA protects both sides equally — used in negotiations where both parties will share sensitive information. Our generator supports both types with appropriate legal language.
