Confidentiality

Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (Mutual NDA): A bilateral confidentiality agreement (also called a mutual or two-way NDA) where each party is both discloser and recipient. Use it before partnership talks, diligence, joint ventures, or vendor evaluations to protect trade secrets, pricing, product roadmaps, and other proprietary information exchanged both ways.

One-way Non-Disclosure Agreement (One-way NDA): A unilateral confidentiality agreement where only one party discloses sensitive information and the receiving party must keep it secret and use it only for an agreed purpose. Common for investor or customer pitches, contractor or vendor access, supplier RFPs, and one-directional product evaluations. Choose who is the discloser, then set purpose, definition breadth, term, survival, and optional clauses such as return of materials or affiliate access.
