Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)

Two parties agree to keep each other's private business information secret.

Good for: Businesses and people who are about to share private information, such as plans, prices, customer lists, or ideas, while they explore working together.

Before you sign

A mutual NDA protects both sides. If only one side shares secrets, a one-way NDA may fit better.
Do not share your secrets until both sides have signed.
An NDA covers private information only. It does not cover information that is already public or that the other side already knew.
