What is a mutual non-disclosure agreement?
A mutual non-disclosure agreement, also known as an NDA or confidentiality agreement, is a legally binding contract between two or more parties that outlines the confidential information they wish to share with each other. It establishes a confidential relationship and ensures that the parties involved will not disclose or use any confidential information for unauthorized purposes.
What are the types of mutual non-disclosure agreements?
There are two common types of mutual non-disclosure agreements:
Unilateral NDA: This type of agreement is used when one party discloses confidential information to another party. The receiving party agrees not to disclose or use the information for their benefit.
Bilateral NDA: This type of agreement is used when both parties exchange confidential information. It ensures that both parties are bound by the same obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure.
