Frequently asked questions

What makes this NDA different from a generic template?

This NDA is tailored to transportation and warehousing, so it includes examples of confidential information like customer lists, pricing models, route data, and warehouse layouts. It also addresses issues like third-party data and proprietary logistics software.

Can I use this NDA when sharing information with a subcontractor?

Yes, this NDA can be used with any third party, including subcontractors, consultants, or partners. Just ensure you identify the receiving party correctly and define the purpose of disclosure clearly.

How long should the confidentiality term be?

Typically 2 to 5 years is common, but trade secrets should be protected indefinitely. The template allows you to set a term, and we recommend specifying that trade secret protections survive beyond the term.
