A useful structure
What’s inside the template
A non-disclosure agreement says what counts as confidential, what each side must do about it, and for how long. Most of what makes an NDA weak is vagueness in the first of those three.

Questions
- Do both parties need to sign?
- Yes. An unsigned NDA is a draft, and a mutual one needs both signatures to bind either side.
- Can an NDA cover a conversation that already happened?
- It can be drafted to cover information disclosed before signing. State that explicitly, it does not apply by default.
- Is a mutual NDA weaker?
- No. The obligations are the same, applied to both. It is usually signed faster for exactly that reason.
