NDA Clause Generator
Used by developers, writers, and creators worldwide.
An NDA clause generator explains and templates the key clauses of a non-disclosure agreement in plain language. Pick a clause — the definition of confidential information, the receiving party's obligations, the exclusions, the term and return provisions, or mutual versus one-way structure — and it describes what the clause does and how to scope it sensibly. Founders, freelancers, and small businesses use it to understand an NDA before signing, to know what a reasonable agreement contains, and to spot overly broad terms. NDAs are everywhere in business, yet most people sign them without grasping what each clause commits them to. Use the explainer to understand the structure and what to negotiate, then have a lawyer draft or review the actual agreement. This is educational only, not legal advice — a real NDA you intend to rely on should always be checked by qualified counsel.

FAQ
is this legal advice
No. It is an educational explainer of common NDA clauses to help you understand what you are signing. Have a qualified lawyer draft or review any NDA you intend to rely on — this is not a substitute for legal counsel.
what is the difference between mutual and one-way
A one-way NDA protects one party’s information, suited to when only you are sharing secrets. A mutual NDA protects both sides and is appropriate when both will exchange confidential information, such as in partnership or merger discussions.
why keep an NDA narrow
Overly broad definitions and indefinite terms are harder to enforce and create more obligation than necessary. A reasonable scope and a specific purpose protect your real secrets while keeping the agreement practical and enforceable.
