Example
What you give it
User is Lena at Quarry Labs, about to demo to Northbeam Retail. Northbeam sent its NDA. > 1. "Confidential Information" means all information disclosed by Northbeam to Recipient, in any form. > 3. Exclusions: information that is or becomes public through no fault of Recipient. > 5. Obligations survive indefinitely. > 8. For 24 months, Recipient shall not solicit any Northbeam employee. > 11. Governed by the laws of the State of New York.
What you get back (the start of it)
NDA first pass — Northbeam Retail, 4 November
_Not legal advice. Prepared for review by counsel._
Type: one-way, Northbeam discloses User's side: both (Quarry Labs will show its product in the demo) [assumption] Purpose stated: not stated — yellow: use of the information isn't limited to the demo
| Area | Rating | What it says (quote, section) | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | red | "disclosed by Northbeam to Recipient" (§1) | Quarry Labs' demo material gets no protection. |
| Definition | yellow | "all information ... in any form" (§1) | No marking needed, so almost anything said counts. |
| Exclusions | red | Only "public through no fault of Recipient" (§3) | Prior knowledge, third-party and independent development are missing. |
| Term and survival | yellow | "survive indefinitely" (§5) | No end date for ordinary business information. |
| Non-solicit | red | "shall not solicit any Northbeam employee" for 24 months (§8) | A hiring restriction inside an NDA. |
| Governing law | green | "laws of the State of New York" (§11) | Noted as written. |
| Permitted disclosure, return or destroy, no license, remedies | — | Not in the excerpt | [not provided] |
Top 3 changes to ask for
1. Make it mutual so the demo is covered (§1). 2. Add the 3 missing exclusions (§3). 3. Remove the non-solicit (§8).
