Frequently asked questions
Do I need an NDA to start working with a client?
Not for most projects — but yes for anything where you'll see unreleased products, financial data, customer lists, or source code before launch. If the client sends you their NDA, read it before signing (mutual is normal; one-way favoring only the client is common but should be negotiated). This generator produces a balanced mutual NDA you can use when no template has been provided.
Mutual NDA or one-way NDA — which should I sign?
Mutual is the fair default: both sides protect their confidential information. One-way (you protect their secrets only) is typical when a company shows you proprietary material; accept it, but check the duration (2–5 years is common; 'perpetual' for trade secrets is reasonable), the scope of 'confidential information' (not 'everything you ever see'), and the carve-outs for information you already knew.
What are the most important clauses in an NDA?
Definition of confidential information (specific beats vague), exclusions (public information, independently developed, rightfully received from a third party), term and survival period, permitted disclosures (legal compulsion with notice), and remedies (injunctions are the point of an NDA — money damages are hard to prove). Avoid NDAs that also claim IP ownership of anything you create — that belongs in the services agreement, not the NDA.
