A 3-Way Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), also known as a Tripartite Non-Disclosure Agreement, is a legal contract that involves three parties. This agreement is designed to protect confidential and sensitive information that is shared among these parties.
Definition: An NDA allows a party to communicate nonpublic information to another. A CDA allows multiple parties to handle information with utmost secrecy.
Generally, NDAs will be enforced by a court, but some statutes and public policy may prevent the enforcement of an NDA. For example, many NDAs will be voided or partially so regarding criminal acts. Often NDAs may be unenforceable unless certain procedural requirements are met.

In a mutual NDA, by contrast, both parties agree not to reveal each other's confidential information. While the unilateral NDA is a one-way street, an MNDA creates a confidential relationship where information is protected by both parties.
In contrast, a mutual NDA, or two-way NDA, involves a shared exchange of confidential information between two parties. So unlike a one-way NDA, where only one party shares sensitive information, a mutual NDA has a double obligation with both parties committed to protecting each other's confidential information.
An NDA does not necessarily need to be notarized to be valid. The key elements for its validity are mutual agreement, clearly defined terms, and exchange of consideration (which can be the mutual exchange of information).
California courts may refuse to enforce non-disclosure agreements that are overly broad or vague in their terms. NDAs should have a clear description of the purpose, parties, and duration they cover.
