Non-Disclosure Agreement
With the development of modern technologies, a lot of information about the work of many companies began to attract more and more attention. In particular, the owners of such companies are concerned that information about the operation of such enterprises does not fall into unwanted hands.
The uniqueness of a service or product on the market is determined by its specifics, features. That is why, in order to save information that may fall into the hands of competitors, an NDA is created.
Such an agreement can be applied to employees, interviewers, scientists, developers.
If it is necessary to draw up an individual agreement on the confidentiality of information, we recommend that you use the Legal Services Consultant service to order a document specifically for your request.
When is a confidentiality agreement required?
A confidentiality agreement is popular among large companies that define certain information as confidential, that is, prohibited from disclosure to third parties.
Confidential data may be defined as:
Business models with the prospect of further funding;
Information about innovative products for the purpose of further patenting;
Personal information about customers, especially if those customers are businesses;
The results of research, testing, development.
However, companies can also define additional categories of information, some of its volumes, prohibited for further disclosure, are released to third parties.
Considering the volume of confidential information, the contract also needs to consider whether such information can be discussed with all colleagues or only with individuals.
Non-disclosure agreement: what to look for when signing?
When signing a non-disclosure agreement, our experts recommend paying attention to the following points:
The duration of the contract and your obligations. It is not uncommon to notice that even after leaving the company, the confidentiality of information must be maintained for some time.
Volume of confidential information. Here we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the immediate list of topics prohibited from disclosure. You can also notice an exception from the list, for example, these may be clients with a business, and such an agreement may provide for non-disclosure of the specifics of the activities of such a legal entity, however, it may allow discussing general cooperation, because this can positively affect sales.
Responsibility and consequences. It is necessary to have a clear understanding that a breach of obligations will result in penalties. However, here it is worth paying attention to whether we are talking only about the actual losses of the company due to the disclosure of information, or whether we are also talking about lost profits. In addition, individual companies may establish disproportionate liability for a breached obligation, so such an agreement may not be relevant to you.
However, please note that such an agreement, like any other documents, will always need special attention before they are concluded.
