Hawaii Non-Disclosure Agreement Template
A Hawaii non-disclosure agreement prevents employees, contractors, investors, or other business entities from wrongfully sharing learned confidential information. Using the document is a wise move for a company to make, as it not only provides weight to any legal action taken by a party who had trade secrets stolen, it acts as a mental barrier to leaking secrets in the first place. The contract is commonly used in the business and medical fields, although any industry in which trade secrets can be used to negatively affect an entity can benefit from the use of an NDA.
Tips for Using an NDA
- Define the ways in which the confidential information will be used.
- Provide remedies in the event of breached information
- Set an end-date to the NDA’s effectiveness
