Who is this Confidentiality Agreement template for?

Developing a new product with a manufacturer, use our NDA

As a developer of cosmetic products, I need a simple agreement with my manufacturers. We work together to develop the products. I need to protect my recipes. So we need a confidentiality agreement

Pitching a new business idea or concept, protect your IP with this NDA

Our startup is regularly pitching to potential investors, employees and strategic partners. Sometimes we even pitch to competitors. We want to make sure they don't steal our ideas. So, we just need a simple One Way Non Disclosure Agreement for a start-up that's fair for both parties.

Simple Confidentiality Agreement for Sale of Business

We are giving price lists, supplier and customer information to a party who is interested in buying our business. We want to make sure that they don't use this information if they don't go ahead with the purchase. We need some protection in case they are just "tyre kickers" snooping around for our company secrets.

Checklist - What's in the Confidentiality Agreement Template

Legal Zebra's Australian Confidentiality Agreement Template includes these important provisions.
General legal tips

Plus, you'll get easy to follow tips and examples to help you confidently turn your template into a legal document, customised for your requirements.

Governing law for resolving Agreement disputes

You choose the applicable law if there is a dispute. For example, choose "the laws of NSW" if you live there so you won't have to travel to another state if there is a dispute about the agreement.

A description of your secret, confidential information

You can include a description of your specific confidential information (customer lists, pricing, business plans, etc) so there's no dispute about what should be kept secret.

Protection for the information of the disclosing party

This is a one-way (one party disclosing) confidentiality agreement so it only protects the disclosing parties information, and not the information of the receiving party.

A right to retrieve your confidential information

You can require the other party to return your information (drawings, plans, pictures, etc) when you finish dealing with the other party.

Ongoing protection, while your information is confidential

This Confidentiality Agreement will continue until neither party holds any more confidential information.

Add your own additional terms to the Agreement

You can customise this Agreement with your own additional terms. So, for example if you want to add your own unique and curly clauses, you can!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Confidentiality Agreement why do you need one?

A Confidentiality Agreement is often referred to as a Confidential Disclosure Agreement (CDA), a Confidentiality Deed or a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA). The term "NDA" is popular in the USA, while in Australia and the UK the document is more commonly called a Confidentiality Agreement. Whatever you might call it, the document is essentially a promise to keep information secret. This can be used to ensure your information is used for your benefit only, and to stop other's using it the confidential information for their benefit. If you disclose confidential information to another business, you should put a Confidentiality Contract in black & white. It will help you protect your information so it is only used for a specific purpose and only shared on a need-to-know basis. You can use this Agreement to stop people stealing your business and protect your intellectual property. Likewise, if you’re asking another party to give you their confidential information, you can offer to sign a Confidentiality Agreement so they feel more comfortable talking to you.
