I appreciate the time and effort put into crafting this Non-Disclosure Agreement. It is
thorough and has most of the necessary details. However, I would suggest a few minor edits
to improve the readability and clarity:
1. Paragraph Structure: You should try to break down some long paragraphs into
smaller ones. This will make the content easier to read and understand.
2. Simplification: There are some phrases that could be simplified or explained more
clearly. For example, "Information directly or indirectly concerning, or related to the:"
could be simplified to "Information related to:"
3. Consistency: Maintain consistent terms throughout the agreement. For example,
"The Employee" and "the employee" are used interchangeably, so pick one and stick
to it.
4. Repetition: Avoid repeating the same concept. For example, "The employee shall not
use or attempt to use any of the Confidential Information for his/her own benefit or for
the benefit of any other person or entity." This sentence seems redundant given the
previous confidentiality stipulations.
5. Mandatory Clauses: Include an arbitration clause in case of disputes, and a
severability clause stating that if one part of the contract is found to be invalid, the
rest of the contract still remains valid.
6. Clear Consequences: While the disclaimer mentions the consequences of a breach,
it would be more effective to state the penalties for violation of the agreement in each
relevant section.
7. Legal Consultation: It is always recommended to get your NDA vetted by a legal
expert or attorney to ensure that all terms and conditions are enforceable and in line
with local laws.
