Free Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) Template
Create a legally binding NDA in under five minutes. This mutual or one-way non-disclosure agreement template is drafted for founders, freelancers, and small businesses who need to protect confidential information without hiring a lawyer.
Do I need a lawyer to write an NDA?
No — a well-drafted NDA template is enforceable in every US state and most jurisdictions worldwide, provided it's signed and its terms are reasonable.
Mutual NDA vs one-way NDA — which do I need?
Pick a mutual NDA when both sides will share sensitive information. Pick a one-way NDA when only one party is disclosing.
How long should an NDA last?
Most NDAs run 2–5 years after the last disclosure, with trade secrets protected indefinitely. Three years is the industry default.
