FAQ
By law, a nondisclosure contract must be reasonable and necessary for protecting a legitimate business interest. It must also be limited in scope and duration, in terms of timing, geography, and other relevant factors. While not required, you should put any confidentiality agreement in writing.
If a phone call does not resolve remaining issues, the NDA will likely take more than 30 days, and up to several months, to complete. During negotiations, PIs are notified if questions or issues arise. Once the NDA is final, the document is routed for signatures.
You do not need a lawyer to create and sign a non-disclosure agreement. However, if the information you are trying to protect is important enough to warrant an NDA, you may want to have the document reviewed by someone with legal expertise.
Florida law generally permits non-compete agreements to last for a reasonable period of time. Under Florida Statutes Section 542.335, courts typically uphold agreements of six months to two years, depending on the circumstances.
In Florida, non-disclosure agreements that apply to former employees or contractors can generally last from six months to two years, while NDAs involving former distributors, franchisees, or licensees can generally last from one to three years.
In addition to FUTSA, Florida case law also enforces NDAs, especially when the agreement might be considered overly broad or restrictive. At the federal level, the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) offers protection and remedies for misappropriation of trade secrets, which may apply in situations involving NDAs.
Time frame: Most NDAs don't last forever, and many confidentiality agreements explicitly state the number of years that sensitive information must be kept secret. Even those with an indefinite time frame will often indicate when information is no longer protected by the agreement.
At the top, there are three types, unilateral, bilateral, and multilateral NDAs. The rest of the specific NDA types fall under these three categories. Most are based on who has to sign the NDA. Not all NDAs are created equally, and they can only demand so much secrecy from strangers when compared to their employees.
Whether or not the overall agreement has a definite term, the parties' nondisclosure obligations can be stated to survive for a set period. Survival periods of one to five years are typical. The term often depends on the type of information involved and how quickly the information changes.
