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.
Two accrued obligations that are most commonly recognised by the courts as surviving termination are: The obligation to pay money due under a contract; and. The obligation to pay compensation/damages.
Those provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement shall so survive. OK, so something survives if the parties intended it to survive! An intention doesn't have to be made explicit in a contract. Instead, it can be gleaned from the context.
The obligations of confidentiality and limitation of use described in this Article 9 shall survive the expiration and termination of the Agreement for a period of two (2) years (or such longer period as may be required by law).
No Expiration Dates So long as they are kept secret, trade secrets do not expire. Likewise, the confidentiality obligations in an NDA should have no expiration date.
A typical confidentiality clause might say, "The phrases and circumstances of this Agreement are completely confidential between the parties and shall not be disclosed to anybody else. Any disclosure in violation shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement."
