Non-disclosure agreement (Estonia)
A non-disclosure agreement for sharing information with someone who promises to keep it to themselves: a business idea, a client list, figures or plans. It can bind one side or both.
Who signs
- The party sharing the information
- The party receiving it; in a mutual agreement each side does both
What you fill in
- Both parties — names of the people or companies, personal codes or registration numbers, and who signs for a company
- What is confidential — the information, as precisely as you can
- Why it is shared — the purpose the receiver may use it for
- How long the promise lasts — a number of years, or until the information becomes public
- Exceptions — information that is public or that the receiver already knew
- At the end — whether the material is returned or destroyed
