NDA Example
-
Never used one but HM Gov has some hints/advice[^].
Henry Minute Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is. Cogito ergo thumb - Sucking my thumb helps me to think.
Good source, TVM.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

I am after a good example of an Non-Disclosure Agreement. I am doing some work for a friend on his web-site and he has a few people working odd contracts, but no NDA's in place. I want to put in place a standard NDA for employees and third-parties alike. Any hints or tips would be much appreciated. Thank-you.

I would have given you the one that I signed with my employer but the NDA stated not to share the NDA with anyone. No kidding, You might think I am joking around but I am not (bloody Indian Companies). I did however used some NDA on one of my freelance project long time back. I dont seem to find it but this template seems to be ok for the job. this one[^] But you will have to customize it as per the nature of your work.

Actually that makes sense. (Ouch! I couldn't say that, my NDA forbids it - Oh no! My NDA explicitely forbids me talking about my NDA -- Oh my God, I'm lost!) :-D
Veni, vidi, vici.

It sounds like a Super-Injunctions[^] were you can't even say that one exists. I have had NDA's of that nature forbidding me to name the companies I was working with or even that I had agreements in place that I couldn't talk about. Beer anyone?

Start of with two paragraphs of pseudo-legalese, then end with two more. Fill the middle bit with ipsum lorem or promises to donate to Nagy Vilmos all their worldly goods, or both. Add a bit for signatures, and off you go. No body reads the things anyway, so you can stick what you what in. You'd be surprised how many people have signed up to an NDA I wrote which includes the ritual sacrifice of the first-born for breaches. Mind you, so would they: some of them copied it and used it as their own...

I'm not sure where the original is, to be honest. I haven't used it for years - put it this way, the source is in Lotus Word Pro so I'd have to find the disks for that first! :laugh:

I'm still using several of the give away CDs as coasters, if you get stuck.

I've got a couple of copies I bought back in the day in my archives somewhere (i.e. the back of the software cupboard) The only problem is that I'm afraid to install it on my current Win7 machine because I know it will work, and work much, much better than Word 2010, so I'll use it in preference. And then I'll have all my documents in a format no-one else can read. Again. :laugh:

This company http://simply-docs.co.uk[^] have a pretty good selection. They're commercial, but their rates are reasonable.

I know you're being sarcastic, but it's things like this that get companies into big trouble. Protecting trade secrets requires that a company make a good faith effort at doing so.NDAs are one of those things that are rarely needed, but when they are needed, they are really needed. I was personally involved in a situation where someone had lifted the entire code base from a company, changed the interface to do something different, and had sold it to another party (by chance, I was a contractor for both, six months apart, and realized what had happened.)

I remember seeing that (or at least a reference to it, maybe you were just quoting that bit) here ages ago.
I may have mentioned it before - I have been here for three years! :laugh:

Hi, I remembered your request for a sample NDA and I found the cd today that came with the book Web & Software Development, A legal Guide (ISBN 1-4133-087-1), Attorney Stephan Fishman, published by www.nolo.com[^].

The parties agree to enter into a confidential relationship with respect to the disclosure of certain proprietary and confidential information ("Confidential Information"). 1. Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall include all information or material that has or could have commercial value or other utility in the business in which Disclosing Party is engaged. If Confidential Information is in written form, the Disclosing Party shall label or stamp the materials with the word "Confidential" or some similar warning. If Confidential Information is transmitted orally, the Disclosing Party shall promptly provide a writing indicating that such oral communication constituted Confidential Information. 2. Exclusions from Confidential Information. Receiving Party's obligations under this Agreement do not extend to information that is: (a) publicly known at the time of disclosure or subsequently becomes publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party; (b) discovered or created by the Receiving Party before disclosure by Disclosing Party; (c) learned by the Receiving Party through legitimate means other than from the Disclosing Party or Disclosing Party's representatives; or (d) is disclosed by Receiving Party with Disclosing Party's prior written approval. 3.

Receiving Party shall not, without prior written app
