Create a Non-Disclosure Agreement

What this document does

A promise to keep information confidential — mutual, where both sides disclose, or one-way where only one does. It sets out what counts as confidential, how long the duty survives the agreement, and what must be returned or destroyed at the end. Note that the exclusions are wide: marking something confidential does not make it so, and nothing here reaches what is already public, what the recipient worked out independently, or what a court compels them to disclose.
