Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are one of the most commonly signed business documents. Whether you're a freelancer, consultant, or employee, you'll encounter NDAs regularly. Here's how to sign them online for free.

What Is an NDA?

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) — also called a confidentiality agreement — is a legal contract that:

• Protects confidential information shared between parties
• Defines what information is confidential
• Specifies how long the confidentiality obligation lasts
• Outlines consequences for breaching the agreement

Is an Electronically Signed NDA Legally Binding?

Yes. Electronic signatures on NDAs are legally binding under:

• eIDAS (EU) — All three levels of e-signatures are valid
• ESIGN Act (US) — Electronic signatures have the same legal effect as handwritten ones
• UK, Canada, Australia — Similar legislation applies

Courts regularly enforce electronically signed NDAs.

Types of NDAs

All types can be signed electronically.

Tips for Signing NDAs

• Always read before signing — Understand what you're agreeing to
• Check the duration — Some NDAs last forever, which may be unreasonable
• Note the scope — Overly broad NDAs can be problematic
• Keep a copy — Always save the signed version for your records
• Ask questions — If something is unclear, ask before signing

Common NDA Situations

• Job interviews — Employers may ask you to sign an NDA before discussing the role
• Freelance projects — Clients protect proprietary information
• Startup pitches — Investors may require NDAs (though many won't sign them)
• Business partnerships — Mutual NDAs protect both parties
