About this template

A one-way (unilateral) NDA protects the disclosing party when the recipient primarily listens—for example investor decks, vendor RFPs, or candidate take-home briefs.

The template names the discloser and recipient, defines confidential information, and sets return or destruction duties when the relationship ends.

Always confirm the document is eligible for simple e-signature where you operate.

Jurisdiction note

Frequently asked questions

Who signs a one-way NDA?
Typically both discloser and recipient sign so the obligation is clear and enforceable.
Is this suitable for employee NDAs?
It can work for light contractor disclosures. Employment agreements may need local employment counsel.
What if I need mutual obligations?
Switch to the Mutual NDA template instead of editing this one into a hybrid.
