Create a Professional NDA with Enty.io
A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a legally binding contract that protects confidential information shared between parties. Whether you're safeguarding business secrets, proprietary processes, or sensitive data, Enty.io provides a streamlined solution for creating comprehensive and enforceable NDAs tailored to your specific needs.
What is a Non-Disclosure Agreement?
An NDA (also known as a Confidentiality Agreement, Secrecy Agreement, or Proprietary Information Agreement) establishes confidentiality between two or more parties. By signing an NDA, recipients of protected information agree to:
Not disclose confidential information to unauthorized third parties
Not use the information for purposes outside the agreement
Take reasonable measures to protect the information
Return or destroy confidential materials when requested
Honor the terms for the specified duration
When to Create an NDA
Creating an NDA is essential in numerous business scenarios:
Sharing business plans with potential investors or partners
Discussing proprietary processes with contractors or vendors
Onboarding new employees with access to sensitive information
Exploring potential mergers or acquisitions
Hiring consultants for specialized projects
Developing new products or technologies
Negotiating licensing agreements
Outsourcing business functions
