You
What type of party are you?
In most cases pick Corporation or LLC if you have a company. Choose Individual if you're signing as yourself.
Will you be signing this NDA?
Choose Yes if you'll sign in the editor yourself. Choose No if someone else on your side will sign.
What's your full name for the signature block?
This is how your name will appear as the signatory for your party.
What's your title?
A simple title like Founder or Owner is fine.
What's your address?
Usually your business address, or your home address if you're signing as an individual.
What's the email for your party's signer?
We'll use this when you send the document so they can complete their signature.
Them
What's their company name?
Use the legal name of their business. If they're an individual, put their full name instead.
What type of party are they?
In most cases this matches how they operate: Corporation, LLC, or Individual.
Who will sign for them?
If you only know one contact, use that name for now. You can update it later.
What's their title?
In most cases this is CEO, Founder, General Counsel, or another authorized role.
What's their address?
Usually their principal business address. Approximate is okay if you don't have every detail yet.
What's their email address?
We'll use this as the counterparty recipient when you send the NDA for signature.
Agreement
What's the purpose of sharing confidential information?
Write it in plain English. AI will turn this into proper NDA language.
When should the agreement take effect?
Most NDAs start today. Choose a custom date if you need a different effective date.
What is the effective date?
Pick the date the NDA should begin.
How long should the agreement last?
In most cases 1 to 3 years. This is how long the NDA itself stays in effect.
How long should it last?
Use any wording that fits: years, months, or an end date.
Which state's law should govern?
Usually the state where your company is formed or where you do business. Delaware is common for US companies.
Which jurisdiction?
Name the country or region whose law should apply.
Do you require any advanced terms?
Things like confidentiality breadth, dispute process, return of materials, affiliates, residuals, no-hire language, or other custom terms.
Advanced
How broad should confidential information be?
In most cases Standard is enough. Choose Broad for wider coverage, or Narrow if only documents marked confidential should be protected.
How long should confidentiality survive after the term ends?
This is how long secrecy continues after the deal ends. In most cases 3 years is common.
How should disputes be resolved?
Litigation means court. Arbitration is private. In most cases litigation is fine unless you prefer arbitration.
Require return or destruction of confidential materials?
In most cases yes. This requires returning or destroying shared materials when asked or when the NDA ends.
Allow sharing with affiliates under the same obligations?
Usually yes if either side has parent or subsidiary companies that may need access under the same rules.
Include a residuals clause?
Usually no unless counsel asks for it. It lets people use what they remember without relying on notes or documents.
Include employee non-solicitation?
Usually no for a basic NDA. Add this if you want to limit recruiting each other's employees during the term.
Anything else to include?
Optional. Describe it in your own words. AI will draft the legal wording from what you write here.
