Business information is a valuable asset. Often it is comprises trade secrets and other confidential and personal information. However, certain types of business arragement require such information to be disclosed to another party so that the other party can carry out a particular task or operation.

A confidentiality agreement is a legal contract entered into between at least two parties  in order to restrict the ability of the parties to use information that has been provided by each other. Confidentiality agreements regulate and set out the rights of each party in relation to the confidential information that has been disclosed. The agreement will outline the reason behind the parties are entering into the contract and how they expect the recipient of confidential information to use the information. Putting in place a confidentiality agreement where confidential information is to be exchanged is essential as in the United Kingdom there is no law of confidentiality which would otherwise protect the disclosure of confidential information. This means that simply disclosing or telling someone about an idea that you consider a secret does not mean that they are required to keep that information confidential or only use it with your permission.

Our team of Solicitors have created a range of confidentiality agreements to cover a variety of situations. If just one party will be disclosing confidential information then we suggest that you use our One Way Confidentiality Agreement. This agreement assumes that only one party to the agreement will be disclosing confidential information and imposes restrictions on the receiving party's use of the confidential information. Where both parties will be exchanging confidential information a Reciprocal Confidentiality Agreement is appropriate. We recognise that the variety of situations that a party may possibly require a confidentiality agreement to cover are very broad. For this reason both of these confidentiality agreements can be easily customised.

All of our confidentiality agreements prevent the unauthorised disclosure of confidential information. Our confidentiality agreements are available in template form so that they can be easily adapted to suit your requirements and once purchased they can be re-used as many times as necessary without extra charge. 

Our website also contains many additional Documents and Guides  related to confidentiality such as our guides to the Data Protection Act and our Ecommerce Templates and guidance.
