On the one hand, the protection of trade secrets and intellectual property is crucial to all companies, and it is a prerequisite in obtaining an attractive valuation of your startup that you have adequate protection in place. Such protection includes, of course, registration of your rights if possible and expedient, but also the use of safeguards which prevent others from using and commercializing your trade secrets and intellectual property without your consent.
On the other hand, many companies have regular need for exchanging confidential information with their business relations, including suppliers and customers, for value-creating purposes.
By entering into a non-disclosure agreement with your business relations prior to providing them with confidential information regarding your business, you will have contractual protection against the unwarranted disclosure of your sensitive information.
The template non-disclosure agreement is available in an English version. Instructions on how to use the template and the terms of use are included in the template document itself.
