FAQ
NDA questions
- Is a generated NDA legally binding?
- A non-disclosure agreement is generally binding once both parties sign it and it meets your state’s contract requirements. This tool produces a complete, customizable document, but you are responsible for reviewing it and making sure it fits your situation. It is not legal advice.
- What is the difference between a mutual and one-way NDA?
- In a mutual NDA both sides share confidential information and both promise to protect it — common when two companies explore a deal. In a one-way NDA only one side discloses and the other promises to keep it secret — common when hiring a contractor or pitching an investor.
- Do I need a lawyer to use this?
- For a straightforward NDA, many people use a self-help template like this one. For high-stakes, unusual, or high-value confidential information, having a licensed attorney review it is a sensible step.
- Should I download Word or PDF?
- Use Word (.docx) if you want to keep editing the document or add your letterhead; use PDF for a clean, final copy to sign. This tool gives you both, generated on your device.
- Is this legal advice?
- No. Free Contract Generator provides self-help templates and general information, not legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created. Consult a licensed attorney for advice about your specific situation.
