Non-Disclosure Agreement

Many times in the course of business IDC recommends executing an NDA or Non-Disclosure Agreement before discussing details of ideas or concepts. We use a mutual NDA to protect both parties but can execute a custom agreement if you provide it. All IDC employees have existing NDA's with the IDC to enable the execution of only one agreement with clients on a company level. Our template is attached at the bottom.

We will then have an executive member sign and return it to you for your records.

For more information on an NDA, read below (from Wikipedia):

A non-disclosure agreement (NDA), also known as a confidentiality agreement, confidential disclosure agreement (CDA), proprietary information agreement (PIA), or secrecy agreement, is a legal contract between at least two parties that outlines confidential material, knowledge, or information that the parties wish to share with one another for certain purposes, but wish to restrict access to by third parties.

It is a contract through which the parties agree not to disclose information covered by the agreement. An NDA creates a confidential relationship between the parties to protect any type of confidential and proprietary information or trade secrets. As such, an NDA protects non-public business information.

NDAs are commonly signed when two companies, individuals, or other entities (such as partnerships, societies, etc.) are considering doing business and need to understand the processes used in each others business for the purpose of evaluating the potential business relationship. NDAs can be "mutual", meaning both parties are restricted in their use of the materials provided, or they can restrict the use of material by a single party.

It is also possible for an employee to sign an NDA or NDA-like agreement with an employer. In fact, some employment agreements will include a clause restricting employees' use and dissemination of company-owned "confidential information."
