Document background

This Short Form Non-Disclosure Agreement template is designed for use in Australian business contexts where parties need to quickly but effectively establish confidentiality obligations. It's particularly suitable for initial business discussions, preliminary negotiations, or situations requiring rapid implementation of confidentiality protections. The document is structured to comply with Australian privacy laws, contract principles, and commercial practices while maintaining brevity and clarity. This template is commonly used when parties need to share sensitive information during business negotiations, project discussions, or potential partnerships, offering a streamlined alternative to more complex confidentiality agreements while still providing necessary legal protections.

Suggested Sections

1. Parties: Identifies and provides full legal details of all parties to the agreement

2. Background: Brief context explaining why the parties are entering into the NDA and the general purpose of the information sharing

3. Definitions: Defines key terms, particularly 'Confidential Information', 'Permitted Purpose', and 'Representatives'

4. Confidentiality Obligations: Core obligations regarding the protection and non-disclosure of confidential information

5. Permitted Use and Disclosure: Specifies how the recipient may use the confidential information and to whom it may be disclosed

6. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information: Requirements for handling confidential information upon termination or request

7. Term and Termination: Duration of the agreement and circumstances for termination

8. General Provisions: Standard boilerplate clauses including governing law, entire agreement, and execution

Optional Sections

1. Security Measures: Specific security requirements for storing and handling confidential information, recommended when dealing with sensitive technical or digital information

2. Intellectual Property Rights: Clarification of IP ownership and rights, important when confidential information includes IP-sensitive material

3. Non-Solicitation: Prevents poaching of employees or clients, relevant when parties are competitors or in similar industries

4. Breach Notification: Procedures for handling and reporting potential breaches, important for highly sensitive information

5. Indemnification: Specific indemnity provisions, recommended for high-risk information sharing

6. Survival: Specifies which obligations continue after termination, important for long-term sensitive information

Suggested Schedules
