Check an NDA before you sign it.
Clause flags overbroad confidentiality, one-way obligations and never-ending duration in plain English, with fairer wording to ask for.

What goes wrong in NDAs.
Everything is confidential, forever
A definition that covers effectively everything, with no carve-outs and no end date, puts an open-ended burden on you alone.
Obligations that bind only you
Some NDAs are one-way. A mutual NDA, with standard exceptions for public or already-known information, is the balanced norm.
Extras smuggled into the NDA
Non-competes, non-solicits and IP grabs sometimes ride along inside a confidentiality agreement. Clause flags them so a quick NDA stays quick.
Common questions
Is it normal to be asked to sign an NDA?
NDAs are common before detailed conversations, and a fair mutual one is usually uncontroversial. What matters is the detail: what counts as confidential, how long it lasts, and whether it binds both sides. Clause shows you those three things in seconds.
What makes an NDA one-sided?
The usual markers are an obligation that binds only you, a definition of confidential information with no standard exceptions, and a duration with no end. Clause rates each of these against its playbook and suggests more balanced wording.
Can an NDA stop me working for other clients?
A straightforward confidentiality obligation doesn't normally restrict who you work for, but NDAs sometimes carry non-compete or exclusivity wording that does. Clause flags those clauses so you can question them before signing.
