A non-disclosure agreement (NDA), also called a confidentiality agreement, prohibits you from sharing certain information belonging to the other party. NDAs are used in job applications, business partnerships, investor discussions, and contractor relationships.
The key variables in any NDA are: What counts as confidential? How long does the restriction last? Is it mutual or one-sided? What happens if you accidentally disclose something? Vague or perpetual NDAs can seriously restrict your career and business options for years — including preventing you from discussing publicly available information or disclosing illegal conduct.
""Recipient agrees to keep strictly confidential any information received from Discloser, whether oral or written, directly or indirectly, that relates to any aspect of Discloser's business, operations, technology, or personnel. This obligation shall survive termination of this Agreement without limitation.""
↑ From a real startup NDA — the perpetual term and broad definition make this one of the most restrictive NDA clauses we commonly see.
Perpetual NDAs are aggressive. 2–5 years is standard. Trade secrets can be protected separately under trade secret law.
Ask for a carve-out: information that is publicly available, that you independently developed, or that you received from another source without restriction should not be covered.
You should always be able to disclose information as required by law, court order, or to a government agency. Make sure this exception is explicit.
A mutual NDA protects both parties equally. Unilateral NDAs (only you are bound) should raise a flag, especially in relationships with roughly equal bargaining power.
