What is a duration clause? A duration clause is a clause inserted into a contract to clarify how the duration of a contract might be subject to change, depending on certain circumstances. They can also be used to establish responsibilities that exist outside of the contract duration period.
The duration of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) typically ranges from one to five years, depending on the specific needs and circumstances of the agreement.
For that reason, an NDA that includes trade secrets might state something like, “The confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions of this agreement shall last for a term of five years, except trade secrets shall be kept confidential indefinitely.”
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.

Example: “The Receiving Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party's Proprietary Information for a period of five (5) years from the date of disclosure, unless such information becomes publicly available through no fault of the Receiving Party or as required by law.”
A confidentiality agreement should include the names and addresses of the parties to the contract. Consider also including: Reason for the agreement: Explain why you're sharing this information. The information disclosed: Be specific about the subject matter and what exactly is included in the agreement.
Example: Fixed Term The Agreement shall commence on date | the date of this Agreement, and continue for a period of 2 years and thereafter terminate. We run through some examples of contingent commencement of contracts and termination of contracts in the context of conditions precedent.
Confidentiality agreements can run indefinitely, covering the parties' disclosures of confidential information at any time, or can terminate on a certain date or event. Whether or not the overall agreement has a definite term, the parties' nondisclosure obligations can be stated to survive for a set period.
