Non Disclosure Agreements: Choice

The basic purpose of non disclosure agreements is to restrict the disclosure of confidential information.

In addition to the basic disclosure restrictions, non disclosure agreements will often require that confidential information be held securely. Where information may be disclosed to particular persons (e.g. employees or suppliers) then there may be an obligation to place contractual confidentiality obligations upon those persons before disclosing the information.

There are a number of fairly standard exceptions to the disclosure restrictions in non disclosure agreements. For instance, disclosure of public information and disclosure where required by law are usually permitted.

If you are looking for something very straightforward, we suggest using one of the "standard" template non disclosure agreements; if, on the other hand, you want something with a little extra legal protection, you should consider using one of the "premium" templates.

The unilateral non disclosure agreement templates should be used where only one party to the agreement is giving confidentiality undertakings. The mutual templates should be used where both parties are giving confidentiality undertakings.
