Frequently asked questions

What makes this NDA different from a generic one?

This NDA is drafted with the transportation support industry in mind. It includes examples of confidential information that are common in your field, such as customer lists, pricing models, routing guides, and warehouse layouts. It also addresses issues like return of data and non-solicitation of employees, which are critical in this sector.

Can I use this NDA for both one-way and mutual disclosures?

This tool is designed for a one-way NDA, where one party discloses information to another. If you need a mutual NDA, you can adapt it by adding a reciprocal clause, but it's best to consult with an attorney for complex transactions.

How long should the confidentiality term be?

For most business information, a term of 2 to 5 years is standard. However, for trade secrets like proprietary algorithms or customer databases, you may want the obligation to last as long as the information remains confidential. The tool lets you set a term in years, but you can also specify perpetual protection in the special terms field.
