How to use this Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) in US
Choose 'Mutual' when both sides will share information (partnerships, M&A talks) and 'One-way' for vendors, freelancers or investors receiving your data. Keep the confidentiality period to 2–5 years for ordinary information; trade secrets stay protected as long as they remain secret.
Do not use an NDA to prevent someone from reporting harassment or illegal conduct — in your state and under federal law such clauses are void and can taint the whole agreement.
