NZ Confidentiality Agreement

There are many circumstances in which you may want to provide confidential information to another party, for example, that other party may be considering:

- buying your business;
- investing in your business;
- promoting your business; or
- granting you or your business a lease or licence.

It is wise to have a confidentiality agreement in place before providing confidential information to another party. Without an agreement, your ability to protect your confidential information is limited. Putting in place a confidentiality agreement also signals to the other party that you are serious about protecting your confidential information.

This Confidentiality Agreement places strict restrictions on what the other party can do with your confidential information and who they can disclose it to. The Agreement also gives you contractual rights to be paid any money that the other party may earn as a result of using your confidential information in breach of the Agreement and provides a way to obtain reimbursement of costs incurred in enforcing the Agreement.
