Overview

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a legal contract between two or more parties that aims to protect confidential and proprietary information. In India, NDAs are commonly used in employment contracts, business partnerships, and agreements with third-party vendors or suppliers.

Benefits

• Protection of Confidential Information: An NDA helps to protect confidential information from being shared with third parties without consent.
• Prevents Misuse of Information: An NDA prohibits the recipient from using the confidential information for their own benefit or for any purpose other than what is agreed upon in the contract.
• Legal Recourse: In case of a breach of the NDA, the injured party can take legal action to seek damages or an injunction to prevent further disclosure or misuse of the confidential information.
