NDA template · one-way or mutual
Choose the NDA type and set its term
Pick whether one or both parties disclose, add the start date and term, then open the Word agreement with confidential-information definitions, exclusions and return-of-materials terms.
- Identify the parties, the business purpose and exactly who may receive confidential information.
- Review exclusions, compelled disclosure, residual knowledge, governing law and remedies for your deal.
- Have a qualified lawyer in the relevant state review the agreement before anyone signs it.
The template distinguishes one-way and mutual disclosure, defines confidential information and common exclusions, and includes return or destruction of materials. It also preserves protected whistleblower disclosures under 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b). This is a drafting aid, not legal advice; enforceability and required terms vary by state and facts. Ask a qualified lawyer to review it before signature.

Questions
Is the NDA template really free?
Yes. You can fill it in and download Word and Excel files without paying.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Filling and downloading work without an account; a free account only saves a copy to Layers.
What is the difference between mutual and one-way?
A one-way NDA protects information from one disclosing party. A mutual NDA applies the same duties when either party discloses.
Does the NDA protect every secret forever?
No. The definition, exclusions, term, handling of trade secrets and state law matter. Avoid an overbroad promise that does not fit the deal.
Should a lawyer review this NDA?
Yes when the information or deal is important. This is a general drafting aid and not legal advice for your state or facts.
