Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement

Parties
Your name or business and Client or brand name
Type
Mutual
Confidentiality term
2 years
Governing law
England & Wales

This Non-Disclosure Agreement is made on 14 September 2026 between Your name or business and Client or brand name.

1. The parties

1.1This agreement is between Your name or business ("Your name or business") and Client or brand name ("Client or brand name"). Both parties may share confidential information with the other, and both take on the same obligations under this agreement.

1.2Notices under this agreement may be sent to [your email] and [their email].

2. Purpose

2.1The parties are sharing confidential information for the following purpose only: the work and opportunity the parties are discussing.

2.2Information shared for this purpose must not be used for anything else โ€” including producing, adapting or publishing the material โ€” without separate written permission.

3. What counts as confidential information

3.1Confidential information means the following, whether shared in writing, verbally, on a call, in a shared folder or in a direct message: unreleased concepts, briefs, product information, unpublished creative work, rates and budgets.

3.2It also includes anything a reasonable person would understand to be sensitive from the way it was shared, and any notes, copies or derivative material made from it.

4. What is not confidential

4.1This agreement does not cover information that is already public, that each party already knew before it was shared, that a third party provides without breaking any duty of confidence, or that each party develops independently without using the other party's information.

4.2Nothing in this agreement prevents either party disclosing information where the law or a court requires it. If that happens, the party being compelled will tell the other in advance where it is allowed to.

5. Obligations

5.1Each party will keep the confidential information private, take reasonable care of it, and use it only for the purpose set out above.

5.2It may be shared with employees, contractors or advisers only where they genuinely need it for the purpose, and only if they are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as strict as these. Each party remains responsible for anyone it shares the information with.

5.3It must not be posted, published, screenshotted, streamed, or shown to any other client or brand.

6. Term

6.1This agreement starts on 14 September 2026 and the duty of confidentiality lasts for 2 years from that date. Obligations that have already arisen survive the end of this agreement.

7. Return or deletion

7.1On written request, each party will return or delete the confidential information in its possession, other than one archival copy kept for legal or record-keeping purposes and any copies held in routine backups.

8. No transfer of rights

8.1Sharing information under this agreement does not transfer or license any intellectual property, and does not commit either party to entering into any further agreement. Ownership of creative work, and any licence to use it, is dealt with in a separate written contract.

9. General

9.1This agreement is governed by the laws of England & Wales, and the courts of England & Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute.

9.2It is the whole agreement between the parties on confidentiality, and replaces any earlier understanding on that subject. Changes must be agreed in writing by both parties. If any part of it is unenforceable, the rest still applies. It may be signed in counterparts, including electronically.
