NDA Agreements
Does anyone have any experience with reviewing NDA agreements? A customer contacted me but wants me to sign one. Does the website have anything built in about confidentiality between the two parties?

dgaylord - Nothing built in. That agreement would be between you (your company) and the customer (their company). It is best for you to have that control

makerbeck - There are many NDAs online. Be careful to read it closely and that it protects both of you. I have seen some homemade NDAs that I would not sign. When faced with this, I often provide my own based on a standard NDA template or one I have gotten from a source that I know is valid.

makerbeck - No, an NDA is not redundant. They are very useful but are still dependent on who you are dealing with. After all, once the cat is out of the bag, it is out of the bag.

geekdad63 - No I meant NDA agreement is redundant because the A in NDA stands for agreement.

mbarros45 - We use NDAs all the time. So much so that we have a standard mutual NDA that we use for almost everything. A truly mutual NDA will protect BOTH parties. Whenever I am presented with an NDA I automatically respond with my Mutual NDA. I have only had 1 company refuse to use it but it does get reviewed by the other parties legal departments frequently. My advice is that you find a mutual NDA that fits your needs and use that. If you are using one from someone else make sure your read and understand the entire thing.

cwimsatt - While executed by both parties, and so in their control, it would be great to have built-in support for good NDA templates on the site.
- NDA Template X, Y and Z
- Does printer accept NDA's

For the future, a small project-management tool would be nice as well, for each project. Expected timelines for a project, executed NDA in place, associated message threads and files. Nice to haves, but would be helpful.

flyingpenguins - There's nothing wrong with an NDA, but you need to read it carefully. I once was asked to sign an NDA that included all sorts of bogus clauses including:
- Claiming payment was pre-negotiated, when it was not
- Required transfer of all intellectual property regarding my printer to the client
- $50,000 out of court settlement regardless of validity of claim

Unlike the Terms and Conditions on forums, NDAs are not to be taken lightly.

klais - Now, often if you don't persuade him of your presentation, you might even lose a customer. It is a very common issue, so it is best to contact specialists for assistance immediately. For eg, I did this at a business meeting to get assistance designing my https://slidepeak.com/keynote-presentation presentation. It turned out that way, happily. I hope it works out for every one of you, too. Good fortune, I hope I've been able to assist everyone, and you can learn what technical design support you want. This is too a case for its beginners to trust.

michael760 - I had a similar situation with my foreign client. I think the most important thing is to resolve everything peacefully and on time. This is especially significant for me now, because my company is reaching a new level and only positive reviews and satisfied customers may lead to this. This source helps me with opening bank accounts and adjusting financial matters https://astra-trust.com/ It's the main point for me, and I preferred to turn to professionals for help.
