A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a legal contract that states certain information to be confidential and the extent to which its disclosure is restricted to third parties. It can be entered into with a person or an organization.
Confidential information includes trade secrets, business plans, business methods and strategies, drawings, charts, and so on. Software programs and code are also included in the category of confidential information. Consultants and agencies are usually asked to sign one to protect trade secrets as they mostly work with multiple organizations within the same industry.
In general, there are 3 types of nondisclosure agreements-
One-way or unilateral agreement- Here, only one party has the confidential information to be shared with another party. The party in possession is called the ‘disclosing party’ and the other one is named the ‘receiving party’.
Two-way or bilateral agreement- Here, two parties are involved and both have the confidential information to be shared.
Multilateral agreement- Here, 3 or more parties are involved. One of them discloses sensitive or confidential information and the others promise to protect such information from further disclosures.

The nondisclosure agreement template must mention the date of execution of the agreement and the duration of the existence of the same. It should also mention if the rules and obligations related to disclosure of information will be applicable after the expiry of the nondisclosure agreement or not.
Confidential information
The non-disclosure agreement format must specify what information is to be kept in the ‘confidential’ category or to be protected.
Disclosure of confidentiality
This section of the non-disclosure agreement employee specifies the intentions for which the confidential data/information will be used. It will also specify with whom such information can be shared.
Dispute resolution
