What is NDA? 

A Non-Disclosure Agreement, also called NDA, is a specific type of contract that helps companies to protect the confidential information that they share with their contractors from being revealed to a third party.

What kind of information must be included in an NDA?

1. Name of the parties
2. Definition of confidential information
3. The extent of using confidential information
4. Duration of the agreement
5. Liability for financial damages
6. Confidentially exceptions

A Non-Disclosure Agreement is always required to run a firm. Therefore, without the Non-Disclosure Agreement nothing proceeds further. Nowadays, every business, general counsels and in-house legal teams functions are changing rapidly. Many organizations were working traditionally. But they are now expected to perform a much broader role. 

Meanwhile, in a world where clients need everything on the double. Also battling the expanding set of regulations. To repeat workloads puts the in-house attorneys under high-pressure not conducive for legal work. Additionally, it poses reputational and commercial risks for the organization. Also, legal work may fall to overstretched and not performed well. 

In this case, you need to outsource your high-volume Non-Disclosure Agreement then you need expert attorneys. As a result, experts increased your efficiency, quality, and get insights accurately that mitigate all risks. 

Types of non-disclosure agreements

There are two basic types of non-disclosure agreements in software outsourcing:

• Unilateral NDA – only one of the parties agrees to protect the information received from the other party. This is the most common type of non-disclosure agreement that allows companies to protect their business and strategic information.
• Mutual NDA – both parties agree to protect each other’s sensitive information. In software development, mutual NDA may protect both company’s strategic information and the contractor’s technological information.

An NDA is not mandatory in software outsourcing or the recruitment processes. However, this kind of agreement helps to protect the company’s innovative projects, trade secrets, business strategies, and other sensitive information (related to finances, marketing, HR policies, etc.). Signing an NDA with the contractors, third-party companies or newly hired employees mitigates the risk of making confidential information public.

So, before you proceed with writing your non-disclosure agreement, we have a few tips for you. We highly recommend to:

• Verify whether signing NDA is essential. In the case of simple projects that don’t require sharing sensitive information, an excess of legalities may severely slow down the process.
• Secure your confidential information yourself. In case the information is being revealed on your side, the NDA becomes ineffective.
• Collect evidence of agreement breaches. In order to execute receiving compensation, you will be obliged to prove the agreement violation to the contractor.

Why are freelancers reluctant to sign an NDA?

• Individual developers are reluctant to signing NDAs since most of them are working on more than one project at the same time. This will prevent them from working on a similar type of products concurrently or in the near future; as it might cause a transfer of some information or influence the product while creating similar functionalities.
• NDAs are misconstrued as lack of trust by some of the recipient parties, and hence they try to keep away from ventures that require signing an NDA.
• The Nature of work or Detailing is not disclosed until the developer signs and NDA. This becomes tedious if the developer doesn’t agree to the type of work and has to reject the project.
• Portfolios are a major work-puller for the Freelancers. If you cannot showcase your previous work or provide detailed information regarding it, that can be considered as a liability by the developers.
• Period of the confidentiality is too long to be restricted with information sharing or working on similar avenues.

NDAs are a norm in today’s business scenario. Any transfer of business-relevant information is backed by an NDA. It provides clarity for both parties on the expectation and rather establishes a foundation for a long-term relationship. Parties who are unwavering to signing NDAs are considered professional and one who realizes the severity of the information being exchanged. This creates a trust factor in the Disclosing party and hence evading any barriers to future interactions between the two parties.
