When obtaining a Confidentiality Agreement otherwise known as a Non Disclosure Agreement, it is important to speak with a solicitor. A standard Non Disclosure Agreement that can be downloaded as a template is unlikely to be comprehensive enough or fit your specific requirements.
Non Disclosure Agreements typically allow you to disclose information to a third party, such as customers, suppliers or persons you may be considering entering into some kind of venture with. The information is normally provided for a specific purpose and by signing the agreement the third party confirm that they will not pass this information to anyone else or use it other than for the specified purpose.
