Confidentiality Agreement

Select from the list the option which best describes why the parties are sharing confidential information with each other.

Business sale: Often a business purchaser will want to know confidential information regarding the business prior to the purchase. Choose this option if one party is considering selling its business to the other party.

Employment: An employee or consultant may, during the course of their engagement with a company, need access to confidential information.

Potential Investment or Partnership: Sometimes when a party is investigating whether to invest in another person's business, invention or idea, it will be important to provide them with details of that business, invention or idea. In these circumstances it is often wise to have the potential investor sign a confidentiality agreement to protect the invention or idea from copying by the investor.

Sale of goods: One party ("the Seller") might be selling one or more goods to the other party ("the Purchaser"). For example, let's say that the Seller is selling a yacht to the Purchaser. The yacht might be second hand, and might have previously been used for commercial charters. The Purchaser might want to know a lot of sensitive information about the yacht, such as the service history, details of any safety issues or incidents that have occurred on board, details of the fees that charter guests paid and so on. In case the Purchaser does not go ahead with the purchase of the yacht, this confidentiality agreement may be used to restrict the Purchaser from disclosing or using this sensitive information.

Sale of services: In some cases one party might hire the other party to perform some services. For example, the first party might have an idea for a mobile application, and the second party might be a software developer. The first party might want to discuss the idea with the second party, to see whether the second party has the skills to build the application, and to determine the cost of hiring the second party to provide these services. The first party might want to use a confidentiality agreement to restrict the second party from stealing the idea for the application.

Other: Select this option if none of the other options accurately describe the reason why the information is being shared between the parties.
