North Carolina NDA: How to Make?

Here are some tips that will help you prepare a legally binding North Carolina NDA that will protect the proprietary information:

1. Identify the parties by their full names, physical addresses, telephone numbers, and - if possible - driver's license numbers to avoid confusion especially if one of the counterparts or both of them have a common name.
2. While it is important to indicate the scope of the agreement, do not forget to mention the details that will be excluded from the NDA . For example, the receiving party cannot be held liable for disclosing information they have learned before working with or for you.
3. It may be tempting to ask for indefinite protection for the data in question . But you need to analyze the information you list in the agreement and determine whether any of the details have an expiration date which is quite common for many industries.
4. Add a non-compete clause to the contract if you think your former employee may want to seek employment with your local rivals and this employment will inevitably include the disclosure of the information you want to keep safe.
5. Decide how the non-breaching party should proceed in case they learn about the NDA violation . It is recommended to send a formal notice before filing a lawsuit - it may be easier to resolve the issue without a trial and ask the breaching party to pay compensation for failing to comply with the contract terms.
6. In order to make sure the agreement is valid and it is more difficult to challenge it in the event either party wants to dispute the conditions of the NDA, you need to notarize the document - visit a notary public and sign the papers in their presence.
