Non disclosure agreement
This free non disclosure agreement (NDA) is simplicity itself.
It is a unilateral or one-way agreement, in which one party undertakes to keep the other's information confidential. In addition to the basic confidentiality obligation, the recipient of the information must use reasonable security measures to safeguard the information and must at all times act in good faith in relation to the information.
If you are looking for a mutual agreement, one that protects the confidential information of both parties, then you should try this NDA template over on website-contracts.co.uk instead.

Free NDA form
I expect that this wiil help me to better understand the form which a NDA should take.
Cost
Is this really free?
Yes...
Yes, this NDA is free to use, providing you retain the text in the document that attributes the source of the document to us. You can get access to a version of the NDA that omits that text, here:

Also, if you purchase a that document, you can of course remove the credit from a version of this free documnet that you have previously adapted.

Thank You so much for allowing a downloadable and printable document. I have no problem sharing your link as MOST, if not all other "free" websites want you to fill in each section as you go, review ithe contract and then allow you to print. I'm at a stage where I prefer to review what details are necessary and covered in this type of contract and do more research prior to actually filling in ANY information, especially over the internet. I find your willingness to offer a blank agreeement (even with your company info- you should put a watermark on it as well) freely, to the public, for business purposes of protection for an idea or product is beyond professional. I consider you one of the higher ranking professional companies and would be proud to do business with you at any time. Seems Most ethical when these days, that is a rare commodity. Thank you again for keeping me at ease with not having to "DISCLOSE" my information, technology, indea, invention, prior to having any written disclosure form created. Thank you. Veronica Fischer.

Hi! Thank you for the templates. May I know if we can edit and add some parts here? But will still remain the credit? Thank you for the answer.
Yes, please edit
Our licensing terms permit the documents to be edited - indeed they need to be edited to some degree before use. You do however need to retain the credit.

Printed use of template
Sorry if this is obvious or not; these things aren't my strong point unfortunately.
Is it fine to print the NDA out as is and use it for a meeting as is?
I saw that if I used it on a website I'd have to link it but I am just looking for an NDA to protect my idea's for upcoming meetings. I gather it is OK to use it for protection as is?
Thanks a lot!
Dan
Printing templates
Yes, that's fine.

UK US Agreement
Do you have a template for an NDA between two parties, one in UK and one in US?
Dual law document
I don't have a document that is designed to take account of the laws of both the US and UK - however such dual law documents are quite rare and usually US and UK parties sign NDAs governed by the law of one or other jurisdiction (English law or the law of an identified US state). However, the courts of both jurisdictions may be granted the right to adjudicate disputes. In any particular case, this approach could cause problems, eg because a particular rule of law in one jurisdiction impacts upon the enforceability of the provisions of the NDA, even thought it may be expressed to be governed by the law of the other jurisdiction. Whether this is a real issue will depend upon the circumstances.
NDA question
I live in NZ and wish to do a provisional worldwide NDA.
Doing a NDA, couldn't they just go tell somebody else your idea?
How would you know?
How would you know?
Often, it's very difficult to know if confidential information has been disclosed. If you can avoid itl, you shouldn't rely upon an NDA as the only method of protecting a valuable idea.
Restrictive Covenant
Would it be appropriate to include a restrictive covenant clause to prohibit the recipient from using information / knowledge gained during their relationship with the disclosor to entice employees away from the disclosor's business or to 'poach' customers and if so, where would this sit in the template?
Restrictive Covenant
Sorry, but I can't provide this kind of drafting help here - If I tried to answer I'd be very likely to mislead you as I don't have all the necessary info.

What are the benefits of an NDA? & what to include in NDA?
Dependent upon circumstances
The usefulness and contents of an NDA will in practice depend upon the circumstances in which it is used. Do you have any particular circumstances in mind?
