NDA Example
-
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...
Ideological Purity is no substitute for being able to stick your thumb down a pipe to stop the water

Send it. Now!
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'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.
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.

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:

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.

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:
