Delaware NDA: How to Make?

Here is how you need to compose a legally enforceable Delaware NDA to protect the sensitive information from being disclosed:

1. Identify the parties - the disclosing party (most often, a business) and the recipient of the information (it can be a private individual or another company).
2. Determine what information is considered confidential and will be safeguarded by the agreement . Try to avoid vague wording to prevent disagreements and disputes in the future. You should also record the exclusions from the contract - for instance, if the information covered in writing becomes known to the general public without the person in question being involved, it cannot constitute a violation of the contract terms.
3. List the steps the owner of the confidential information should take in the event of a contract violation . It is recommended to send a formal notice before filing a lawsuit to resolve the issues peacefully and ensure the sensitive details are not disclosed.
4. Decide the duration of the NDA - it can be indefinite or last for a few years, depending on the wishes of the parties and the contents of the information protected by the agreement.
5. Add the non-compete clause if you believe it will help keep the information safe - for instance, you may forbid your former employee to work for a competitor in the same town since this employment may involve sharing sensitive details the former has learned while working for you.
6. Sign and date the papers . It is necessary to add an extra level of protection to the agreement so visit a notary public who will put their seal under the signatures after verifying your identities and confirming the intention to formalize the deal.
