What Is NDA on UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 9:10 pm

An NDA is a Non-Disclosure Agreement. It’s a contract used to protect confidential information from being shared. When you sign an NDA, you’re agreeing not to share the confidential information with anyone else.

There are two types of NDAs:

  • Unilateral: This type of NDA is between one party and another.

    The discloser (the person sharing the confidential information) agrees not to share the information with anyone else. The recipient (the person receiving the confidential information) agrees not to share the information with anyone else.

  • Mutual: This type of NDA is between two parties. Both parties agree not to share the confidential information with anyone else.

NDAs are often used in business deals, such as when two companies are considering a merger or acquisition. They’re also used in employment agreements, to protect a company’s trade secrets.

If you’re asked to sign an NDA, be sure to read it carefully and understand what you’re agreeing to. If you have any questions, ask for clarification before you sign.

PRO TIP: Nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) are legally binding contracts that prohibit someone from sharing information deemed confidential. An NDA creates a confidential relationship between the person signing the agreement (you) and the person receiving the confidential information (upwork).

If you sign an NDA with Upwork, you agree not to disclose any confidential information you learn while working with them. This includes both written and oral information. Confidential information may include, but is not limited to, Upwork’s business plans, clients, and financial information.

If you breach an NDA, you could be sued for damages.
