Examples of Legal Non Disclosure Agreements

Non-disclosure agreements are legal contracts that prohibit anyone from sharing confidential information. Confidential Information is defined in the Agreement, which includes, but is not limited to, protected information, trade secrets, and other details that may include personal information or events. A multilateral data agreement involves three or more parties where at least one of the parties intends to disclose information to the other parties and requires that the information be protected from further disclosure. This type of NDA eliminates the need for separate unilateral or bilateral non-disclosure agreements between only two parties. For example, a single multi-party non-disclosure agreement concluded by three parties, each intending to share information with the other two parties, could be used instead of three separate bilateral non-disclosure agreements between the first and second parties, the second and third parties, and the third and first parties. A non-disclosure agreement can protect any type of information that is not generally known. However, non-disclosure agreements may also contain clauses that protect the person receiving the information, so that if they have legally obtained the information from other sources, they would not be required to keep the information secret. [5] In other words, the non-disclosure agreement usually requires the receiving party to keep the information confidential only if the information was provided directly by the disclosing party […].
