Detect perpetual obligations, disguised non-competes, and uncapped breach liability before you exchange a single document.
These common clauses routinely slip past non-lawyers and expose organizations to six-figure liabilities.
Obligations extending indefinitely rather than 2-3 standard years, exposing your company to indefinite litigation exposure.
Sneaky clauses buried under "Protection of Information" prohibiting you from working with prospective competitors or hiring employees.
Pre-set six-figure monetary penalties for technical non-material disclosures without requiring proof of actual harm.
Failing to require written marking or confirmation within 30 days for oral disclosures, making every casual conversation a legal hazard.
Contains punitive unverified liquidated damages and an illegal disguised non-compete restriction within a basic non-disclosure agreement.
Limit confidentiality to 2 years, strike the liquidated damages clause entirely, and delete all non-compete restrictions.
Answers to legal and operational questions about risk detection and protection.
Market standard is 2 to 3 years from the date of disclosure. Trade secrets may be protected longer, but general commercial secrets should never bind you perpetually.
Only if non-solicitation or non-compete language has been improperly sneaked in. ContractGuard AI automatically flags non-standard restrictive covenants in NDAs.
Unilateral NDAs heavily protect the disclosing party while providing zero liability shields for you. We recommend mutualizing the confidentiality terms whenever possible.
