A Nebraska Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), also referred to as a “confidentiality agreement,” is an agreement between two people or businesses that restricts shared secretive information from being illegally given to persons outside of the contract. The form, which is binding to NE law, allows the parties to specifically state what information is and isn’t off-limits in addition to other necessary sections. The form is dual-purpose, meaning it can be used in situations where only one (1) person discloses information (unilateral), as well as situations where both parties share confidential information to each other (bilateral).
Being a template, the form can be edited to include any sections the parties wish. Before signing the form, seeking the help of a licensed attorney can give peace-of-mind in that the form covers all necessary details and will uphold in a Nebraska court.
“Trade secret” shall mean information, including, but not limited to, a drawing, formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, code, or process that:
(a) Derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being known to, and not being ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and
(b) Is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.[1]
