The bilateral non-disclosure agreement is a contract in which two parties mutually agree not to disclose confidential information that they may exchange. This contract provides a framework for the rights and duties of the parties with regard to this confidential information in order to protect the interests of each.

This contract is a good way to protect your ideas, such as your business model, your manufacturing processes, your customers and partners. If only one party discloses confidential information, you should instead purchase the Unilateral Confidentiality Agreement Kit.
