What is a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)?
A non-disclosure agreement is a contract that requires one or more parties to keep specified information confidential. NDAs are common when sharing business plans, customer lists, product designs, source code, financials, or other sensitive information.
A well-drafted NDA defines what is confidential, how it may be used, how long protection lasts, and what happens if information is already public or independently developed.
When you need an NDA
Use an NDA before pitching investors, hiring contractors, interviewing vendors, discussing a potential partnership, or sharing proprietary materials with outsiders. Mutual NDAs protect both sides; one-way NDAs protect only the disclosing party.
iRunDocs helps you produce a clear, printable NDA PDF. For high-stakes trade secrets or complex multi-party deals, a licensed attorney is still the safer path.
Key NDA terms to review carefully
Pay special attention to the definition of confidential information, permitted use, exclusions (public knowledge, prior possession, independent development), duration, return or destruction of materials, and remedies for breach. Overly broad NDAs can be hard to enforce; overly narrow ones may leave gaps.
Frequently asked questions
Is an NDA legally binding?
A properly formed and signed NDA is a contract and can be enforceable under state contract law. Enforceability depends on the terms, the situation, and applicable law.
What is the difference between a mutual and one-way NDA?
A one-way NDA protects only one party's disclosures. A mutual NDA protects confidential information shared by both parties.
How long should an NDA last?
Many NDAs last 1–5 years for general business information, while trade secrets may be protected longer. Match the term to the sensitivity of the information.
Do NDAs need to be notarized?
Usually no. NDAs are typically effective with valid signatures of the parties. Notarization is uncommon unless a counterparty specifically requires it.
Can I create an NDA online?
Yes. iRunDocs provides a guided NDA generator with PDF preview and download for standard confidentiality needs.
