When do I need the NDA? (Why/When)
Use the NDA before sharing non-public product, commercial, or security information while exploring a potential relationship with MyOperator (software/IT services).
What counts as “Confidential Information”? (Scope)
“Confidential Information” means any non-public information disclosed by either party that is:
- Marked confidential/restricted or similar; or
- Reasonably understood to be confidential by its nature or context.
Examples: business plans, pricing, technical designs, architecture, security docs, financial data, customer lists, roadmaps, prototypes, credentials.

What’s excluded? (Exceptions)
Information is not confidential if the recipient proves it was:
- Already public without breach;
- Known to the recipient without restriction before disclosure;
- Rightfully received from a third party without duty of confidentiality;
- Independently developed without use of the confidential information;
- Required to be disclosed by law (with prompt notice and cooperation to limit disclosure where permitted).
How long does it last? (Term & Survival)
- Term: Valid for 5 years from signature.
- Early termination: Either party may end with 30 days’ written notice.
- Survival: Confidentiality obligations continue for 5 years after expiry/termination.
- Post-term handling: On request, return or securely destroy confidential materials and certify completion (reasonable back-ups permitted—see edge cases).
Who can I share with? (Permitted disclosures)
You may share confidential information with your employees, affiliates, or professional advisors (e.g., auditors, counsel) strictly on a need-to-know basis, provided they are bound by written confidentiality obligations at least as protective as this NDA.
What am I agreeing to? (Obligations)
Both parties agree to:
- Use confidential information only to evaluate or pursue the potential business relationship;
- Not disclose it to unauthorized parties;
- Apply reasonable safeguards (administrative, technical, physical) to protect it;
- Obtain prior written consent before any broader disclosure;
- Promptly notify the other party of any suspected breach or legal request.
