02 — How it works

Three steps from conversation to signed.

NDAs aren’t complicated; they’re standard. The template covers 90%+ of real-world use cases. For high-stakes or cross-border deals, run the DOCX past counsel before signing.

01

Pick mutual or one-way

Mutual NDAs cover both sides exchanging information. One-way NDAs cover situations where only one party discloses (e.g. pitching to investors).

02

Fill in the basics

Parties, purpose, term, governing law. Toggle which standard clauses to include — non-solicit, injunctive relief, return/destruction.

03

Download both formats

Signature-ready PDF and an editable DOCX. Print and sign, or send for e-signing through your preferred tool.

03 — Built for everyday deals

Every clause your counter-party expects.

Mutual or one-way

Mutual NDAs are most common (partnerships, M&A talks). One-way NDAs are for pitches, hires, and vendor evaluations.

Broad or specific

Broad covers "all non-public information". Specific lists exact categories — useful when only a narrow slice should be protected.

Customisable term

1, 2, 3, 5, or 7 years — or indefinite (until publicly disclosed). Trade secrets often need indefinite; commercial info usually 2-3 years.

Return + destruction

Standard clause for return on request, with destruction certified by an officer. Toggle each on/off independently.

Non-solicit + injunction

Optional clauses for 12-month non-solicit of the other party's people, and the right to seek court orders for breaches.

PDF + editable DOCX

Print-ready PDF for signing, plus an editable .docx for redlining with counsel or your counter-party.

04 — Common questions

Everything about NDAs.

01When do I need a mutual vs one-way NDA?

Mutual when both sides will share information (partnership talks, joint ventures, M&A discussions). One-way when only one side discloses (pitching to investors, hiring an evaluator, vendor evaluations). Mutual is more common in practice.

02How long should the term be?

Commercial info: 2-3 years is standard. Strategic plans / pricing: 3-5 years. Trade secrets: indefinite (since trade secret protection itself is indefinite). Avoid going much longer than necessary — courts may not enforce overly long terms.

03Should I require return or destruction?

Return is the traditional approach. Destruction (with written certification) is more practical now that most data is digital. Allowing either, at the disclosing party's election, gives maximum flexibility.

04What does "injunctive relief" do?

It gives the disclosing party the right to ask a court for an emergency order stopping the receiving party from continuing a breach — without having to wait through normal litigation or prove monetary damages. Standard for trade-secret protection.

05Is this enforceable internationally?

Generally yes — NDAs are enforceable in most common-law and many civil-law jurisdictions. The governing-law clause picks which courts apply. For high-value cross-border deals, get local counsel to review before signing.

06Output formats?

PDF (multi-page, numbered sections, signature blocks on the last page, page footers) and .docx (fully editable, same content, ready for redlines or counter-party negotiation).
