Client & Vendor

NDA — Mutual & Unilateral

Protect confidential information before you share your business idea, financials, or product plans with a potential partner, investor, or vendor — before any deal is finalised.

  • Two-way confidentiality (mutual) or one-way disclosure (unilateral) versions included
  • Residual Knowledge clause — the single most important clause for real enforceability
  • Covers oral disclosures with a 14-day written confirmation window
  • Survival period split: general confidentiality vs. trade secrets (indefinite)

Before you sign this document:
1. Update the jurisdiction. This template is drafted with placeholder city/state fields — replace them with your own business's actual location, not any example city shown in the document.
2. Print on valid stamp paper. This PDF is a drafting template, not an executable legal document on its own. Under the Indian Stamp Act, most agreements need to be printed on physical stamp paper (or e-stamped) of the correct value for your state before signing — an unstamped agreement may be inadmissible as evidence until the deficiency is paid. Confirm the correct stamp duty and process for your state before execution.
