Independent Contractor Unilateral Non-Disclosure Agreement

Almost all businesses have confidential and private information, from product plans and customer lists to software and blueprints. The disclosure of such confidential information could seriously damage your business, particularly if that information falls into the hands of competitors. This is of particular concern with independent contractors, where loyalties are not as clear as it might be with your regular employees. Because of this, a comprehensive independent contractor confidentiality (or non-disclosure) agreement is critical to protecting your information. This type of agreement informs all of your contractors and potential contractors that they have serious and ongoing duties of confidentiality to your company. A confidentiality agreement should be signed at the start of a contractual relationship, so LegalZoom offers a sample confidentiality agreement, which includes essential provisions with user-friendly instructions, that you can begin using today.
