Drafted by practicing attorneys. Ready to sign today.
Two parties. One agreement. Full protection for both sides.
This mutual NDA is designed for business owners, founders, and independent professionals who need to share sensitive information with a potential partner, vendor, or contractor, and want it protected without hiring a lawyer for every conversation.
Instant Download | Word (.docx) + Instructions Guide
A complete, ready-to-use Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement in editable Word format.
A plain-English instructions guide explaining every field and what to fill in.
Governing law defaults to Pennsylvania, with simple blank fields to customize for any U.S. state.
Confidential information protection for both parties, covering written, oral, electronic, and visual disclosures.
Trade secret protection that survives the agreement term for as long as the information qualifies under federal and state law.
Three-year confidentiality term, the most widely accepted duration across U.S. jurisdictions.
Compelled disclosure protections so neither party is penalized for complying with a court order or subpoena.
This template was drafted by attorneys who negotiate NDAs for a living. Every clause reflects current law and market-standard terms as of June 2026. Specifically:
Jurisdiction-tested: Designed to hold up in Pennsylvania and structured to be enforceable across all 50 states, including California and New York, where courts scrutinize NDA terms most closely.
Industry-neutral: No sector-specific language. Works for professional services, technology, manufacturing, consulting, real estate, and any other B2B or B2C relationship.
Readable: Sections are written in plain English and say exactly what they mean. Bracketed prompts guide you through every blank. The included instructions page tells you exactly what to enter and why.
Balanced and mutual: Both parties have identical obligations, which means less pushback from the other side and faster execution.
Exploring a potential business deal or partnership.
Sharing proprietary information with a vendor or service provider.
Engaging an independent contractor who will access confidential materials.
This template is designed for commercial and contractor relationships between two parties. It is not a substitute for:
An employment NDA, which may require additional provisions under state law (non-compete restrictions, garden leave, state-specific consideration requirements).
A one-way / unilateral NDA, where only one party is disclosing confidential information.
Complex transactions which require additional compliance coverage, or require industry-specific compliance (HIPAA, FERPA, GLBA, etc.).

A licensed attorney will review your specific situation, walk you through the agreement, and help you tailor it to your needs. No further commitment. Common topics include:
Choosing the right governing law and venue for your situation.
Adding provisions for specific industries or deal types.
Reviewing a counterparty's proposed changes.
This template is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Purchasing or using this template does not create an attorney-client relationship. This document is a starting point and may require modification for your specific circumstances. Laws vary by jurisdiction, and no template can guarantee compliance with all applicable requirements. Consult a licensed attorney for advice tailored to your situation.
