Non-Disclosure Agreement (Mutual)

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (Mutual), is a legal document that you can use to disclose confidential information to another party, while legally forbidding either party from disclosing that information to any person or entity. This document is only enforceable if it is signed by you and the other party, therefore it is crucial that it is signed before either party shares any confidential information. If you are seeking to protect the information of one party, see our Non-Disclosure Agreement (One Way).

Use this Non-Disclosure Agreement (Mutual) if:

• You would like to disclose confidential information;
• You would access confidential information that belongs to someone else; and
• You would like to protect the confidential information of both parties.

• A description of the confidential information;
• Confidential rights and obligations of the parties;
• Protection of sensitive information;
• Return of confidential information at the end of the agreement;
• Obligations regarding proper use of the information; and
