Template:Nda Non-solicitation summ

You are agreeing to provide documents and information on the promise that the other side won’t misuse them. An NDA is not an engagement letter, it does not — should not — imply some sort of uberrimae fidei relationship — so what place do restrictive trade practices have in an agreement about the sharing of confidential information?

None. Strike it out and be done with it.

If the other guy complains, tell him to pay his staff a decent wage and let them have some time off every now and then. Then they won’t leave.

If that doesn’t do the trick, there should be a separate, specific non-solicitation/non-compete agreement that deals specifically with what the parties wish reasonably to achieve. Don’t shoehorn it into an NDA.
