Example Non Disclosure Agreement

02 Feb 2018 | Research & Business Knowledge

Following a recent e-group request, Martin Hollis has very kindly allowed us to publish a Non Disclosure Agreement template for use by ICG members.

Note: Whilst this is a good starting point, it is the responsibility of each individual member to ensure that this meets their needs and is up to date.

Disclaimer: The ICG takes no responsibility for this NDA or how it is used. These examples were posted prior to GDPR so will need to be updated…
