FAQ
Many non-disclosure agreements are illegal and void when they attempt to limit reporting of crime.
Washington's Silenced No More Act limits all Washington employers' use of nondisclosure and nondisparagement provisions in employment agreements.
NDAs are enforceable when they are signed — if they are properly drafted and executed. NDAs are enforceable once signed, provided they have been drafted and executed properly. Unilateral NDAs need only the signature of the receiving party, whereas mutual non-disclosure agreements need the signatures of both parties.
Explain the Context: Start by explaining why you need the NDA. Be clear about the sensitive information involved and why it's important to keep it confidential. Be Honest and Transparent: Share your reasons for needing an NDA. Emphasize that it's not about distrust but about protecting both parties' interests.
A confidentiality agreement binds all parties to keep secret information confidential, while an NDA upholds secrecy by creating a confidential relationship between the parties who sign it.
Definition: An NDA allows a party to communicate nonpublic information to another. A CDA allows multiple parties to handle information with utmost secrecy.
Indeed, confidentiality and nondisparagement provisions in agreements made at the beginning and during the course of employment (such as a severance agreement made with an employee who was still employed at the time of signing) would be invalidated.
A confidentiality agreement (CA) (also known as Nondisclosure Agreement) is used when the owner of confidential information plans to disclose that information to another party and wishes the information to remain confidential.
What is the difference between a DPA and a NDA? A DPA (Data Processing Agreement) outlines terms for data processing, focusing on ensuring data protection and privacy compliance. An NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) is a contract where parties agree not to disclose confidential information they've shared with each other.
Washington Law Civil Penalties Against Employers In addition to allowing employees to speak if they reasonably believe the act was illegal, and making non-disclosure agreements for these activities unenforceable, the act also includes $10,000 in civil penalties for employers who violate the law.
