There are times when a business or corporation must keep trade secrets and
other confidential information secure even while not necessarily ever doing
business with whom they are considering. Without a Confidentiality Agreement or
some sort of Non-Disclosure Agreement, it is hard to begin discussions with future
business partners or vendors. Any Confidentiality Agreement or NDA should
define Confidential Information and also define what is not Confidential
Information.
However, you also want to make sure you restrict the recipient of your
confidential information from benefiting from the direct or indirect use or
exposure you give them to the Confidential Information. This allows you to not
only sue for the breach of the agreement if necessary, but also to allege that any
benefit obtained by the recipient through use of your Proprietary and
Confidential Information should be turned over to you for the benefit of your
business or company.
The first two provisions below are the typical provisions in a Confidentiality
Agreement. However, make sure the Non-Circumvention provision below is part
of your NDA or Confidentiality Agreement.
