Mutual Confidentiality (Non-Disclosure Agreement)

A Mutual NDA establishes reciprocal obligations to protect proprietary and confidential information. This playbook addresses definition scope, duration, and permitted disclosure exceptions.

Termination Rights

Why This Matters: Balanced termination provisions provide an orderly exit path, reducing litigation risk and preserving business relationships.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Disclosing Party A:

Ensure termination rights are mutual and include reasonable notice periods. Negotiate for a clear definition of material adverse change to avoid disputes.

If you're the Disclosing Party B:

Advocate for a balanced termination clause that protects your interests. Ensure any break-up fees are fair and clearly defined.

Essential elements

1

Termination Events

Conditions allowing agreement exit.
2

Notice Periods

Timeframe for termination notice.
3

Break-Up Fees

Fees applicable upon termination.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if termination conditions are one-sided or unclear.

EDIT

Reject if termination rights are absent or overly restrictive.

ADD

Add language for mutual termination events and clear notice periods.

PRO TIP

Always define 'material adverse change' to prevent ambiguity in termination conditions.

Alternative scenarios & positions
