Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreements

Confidential information can be one of a business’s most valuable assets. It may include commercial plans, customer details, technical information, pricing, negotiations, trade secrets, intellectual property and other information that gives the business a competitive advantage.

The Confidentiality Agreements and Non-Disclosure Agreement templates in this subfolder help businesses control how confidential information is shared, used, stored and protected in a range of commercial situations.

NDA templates for one-way and mutual disclosure

The core NDA templates cover both single party disclosure and two-way disclosure. They are designed to define the confidential information, set out the permitted purpose, restrict unauthorised use or disclosure, and deal with practical issues such as permitted disclosure, mandatory disclosure and exceptions to confidentiality.

Where confidential information needs to be passed on to a third party, the Disclosure Agreement and Disclosure Authorisation Letter provide different levels of control depending on whether a basic authorisation or a fuller confidentiality structure is needed.

Confidentiality letters and personal undertakings

The confidentiality letter templates provide shorter-form protection where a full NDA may not be necessary. They include personal, corporate and reciprocal undertakings for protecting technical, commercial and other sensitive business information.

These documents are useful where the parties need a straightforward written commitment not to disclose information, rather than a longer agreement.

Confidentiality before projects, contracts and commercial introductions

Several templates deal with more specific commercial situations, including pre-project evaluation, contractor access to confidential information, employee access to customer information, and introductions where an introducer needs protection against being bypassed.

The agreements help define what information is protected, what it may be used for, who may access it, and what restrictions apply once the relationship or transaction ends.

Customer, client and competition restrictions

The non-solicitation, non-dealing and non-competition templates are designed for services relationships where a contractor, consultant, agent or broker may interact with the company’s customers or clients.

These templates combine confidentiality protection with additional restrictions aimed at protecting customer relationships and commercially sensitive information.

Confidential information policies and internal controls

The Confidential Information Policy helps businesses set internal rules for employees, contractors, agents and others working on their behalf. It supports day-to-day handling of confidential information, accidental disclosure controls, monitoring and policy enforcement.
