A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) protects confidential business information — trade secrets, source code, client lists, financial data, product roadmaps, investor decks — when sharing it with a third party. Founders sign NDAs with employees, vendors, contractors, investors, prospective acquirers, and joint-venture partners. A poorly drafted NDA (or worse, a generic template downloaded from the internet) is often unenforceable in Indian courts because it lacks specific consideration, definition of confidential information, jurisdiction clauses, or remedies.
RegisterEase's corporate lawyers draft NDAs specifically for the Indian legal system. We start with a 15-min discovery call to understand the relationship — is this one-way (you sharing) or mutual (both sides sharing), what's the term (typically 2-5 years post-disclosure), what counts as confidential information (we include specific schedules), what are the exceptions (publicly known, independently developed, court-ordered disclosure), what are the remedies (injunction, liquidated damages of ₹5-25 lakh, indemnity), and what's the jurisdiction (typically your registered office city's High Court).
Pricing: ₹1,499 for a standard 1-way or mutual NDA, ₹2,499 with custom schedules (specific documents listed, technical specifications attached), ₹3,999 for investor / due-diligence NDAs that include non-circumvention and non-solicitation clauses. All NDAs are delivered as editable Word + final PDF, e-stamped on ₹100 stamp paper (required for evidentiary value), and signed via integrated e-signature (Aadhaar OTP or DSC). Turnaround is 24 hours for standard NDAs.
Common mistakes we fix: no definition of confidential information (makes the entire NDA toothless), perpetual confidentiality (Indian courts strike this down — must be reasonable, typically 2-5 years post-termination), no consideration clause (NDAs without consideration are void under Section 25, Contract Act), and wrong jurisdiction (e.g., naming Delhi when both parties are in Mumbai — adds litigation cost). Our NDAs are battle-tested across 8,000+ engagements since 2021.
