Mutual non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
Templates › Confidentiality & Legal
A mutual non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a two-way confidentiality contract — both parties may share sensitive information, and both are bound to protect what the other discloses.
When to use it
Use a mutual NDA whenever both sides will be revealing something sensitive during a conversation — partnership discussions, vendor evaluations, or any joint exploration where each party has real information at stake, not just one.
What's typically included
- Purpose of the disclosure
- Definition of confidential information
- Obligations of both parties
- Exclusions (public, independently known, etc.)
