Dear Shruthi,
Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a legal contract that outlines the terms and conditions under which one party discloses confidential information to another party. Here are key points to include in an NDA:
Definition of Confidential Information:
Clearly define what constitutes confidential information. This can include trade secrets, business plans, financial information, proprietary technology, customer lists, and any other sensitive data.
Obligations of Receiving Party:
Clearly outline the responsibilities of the party receiving the confidential information. This typically includes a commitment not to disclose the information to third parties, and to use the information only for the specified purpose.
Purpose of Disclosure:
Specify the purpose for which the confidential information is being disclosed. This helps limit the use of the information to the intended context.
Duration of Confidentiality:
Define the time period during which the receiving party is obligated to keep the information confidential. This can be a set number of years or continue indefinitely.
Exceptions to Confidentiality:
Clearly state any exceptions to the confidentiality obligations. For example, information may not be considered confidential if it is already in the public domain or becomes publicly known without a breach of the agreement.
Permitted Disclosures:
Specify situations where the receiving party is allowed to disclose the confidential information, such as to employees or contractors who need to know the information for the stated purpose.
Return or Destruction of Information:
Outline the steps the receiving party must take when the agreement terminates, either returning or destroying all copies of the confidential information.
No License or Ownership Transfer:
Make it clear that the disclosure of confidential information does not grant the receiving party any rights or licenses to the information, and that ownership remains with the disclosing party.
Indemnity and Damages:
Specify the consequences of a breach, including any indemnification or damages that may be sought in the event of a violation.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution:
Include the governing law that will apply to the agreement and the procedures for resolving disputes, such as arbitration or litigation.
Here's a simple template to get you started. However, it's crucial to consult with a legal professional to tailor the agreement to your specific needs and jurisdiction:
[Your Company Name]
[Your Address]
[City, State, Zip Code]
[Date]

[Recipient's Address]
