One-way or mutual NDA — which is right?

One-way, if only one party discloses information (e.g. you to a service provider). Mutual, if both sides exchange information — typical for cooperation talks. The wizard asks and automatically selects the matching clause.

How high should the contractual penalty be?

EUR 5,000–50,000 per case is common. In DACH constellations, a fixed amount is often chosen instead of a percentage-based rule. You can set the value freely.

Does the NDA also apply after the contract ends?

Yes. You choose a post-contractual survival period in the wizard (typically 2–5 years). During this period, the confidentiality obligation continues beyond the end of the business relationship.

Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)

Secure confidentiality before you talk. A draft non-disclosure agreement in a few minutes.

Standard

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) obliges the parties not to pass confidential information on to third parties and to use it solely for the agreed purpose. It is the foundation of almost every business initiation — from investor talks to supplier onboarding.
