Frequently asked questions

What makes an NDA specific to wholesale electronic markets?

It explicitly covers the types of information unique to your industry, such as wholesale pricing tiers, supplier and buyer lists, transaction volumes, commission structures, and platform algorithms. Generic NDAs often miss these critical categories.

Can I use this NDA for both one-way and mutual exchanges?

Yes, the template can be adapted. If both parties will share confidential information, you can modify it to be mutual. However, for simplicity, the default is one-way. Consult an attorney if you need a mutual NDA.

How long should the NDA be effective?

Typically, the term is 2 to 5 years, but trade secrets may require perpetual protection. The tool lets you set the term. For trade secrets, consider a clause that survives the NDA's expiration.
