NDA Generator

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a legal contract that protects confidential information shared between parties. You need one before sharing trade secrets, business plans, client lists, proprietary technology, or any sensitive information with potential partners, employees, contractors, or investors.

A unilateral NDA protects only one party's information — the disclosing party shares secrets, and the receiving party promises not to disclose them. A mutual NDA protects both parties — both sides share confidential information and both agree to keep it secret. Mutual NDAs are more common in business partnerships and negotiations.

A properly signed NDA is generally enforceable in court. This generator creates a standard NDA template that covers the essential legal elements: identification of parties, definition of confidential information, obligations, duration, and governing law. However, enforceability depends on your jurisdiction and specific circumstances. For high-stakes situations, have an attorney review it.

For straightforward situations (freelance work, initial business discussions, contractor agreements), this free NDA generator provides a solid, professional template. Lawyers typically charge $200-$1,500 to draft an NDA. This tool gives you a professional starting point at zero cost.

Most NDAs last 1-5 years. 2 years is the most common duration for business partnerships. Some trade secrets (like Coca-Cola's formula) use indefinite NDAs. Choose based on how long the information remains valuable and sensitive.
