Use the Bonterms Mutual NDA to standardize confidentiality obligations when both parties are disclosing confidential information. The Mutual NDA is implemented through a Bonterms Cover Page or a standalone Signable version that identifies the parties, specifies the Key Terms, and reflects any agreed modifications.

Use this option if you wish to enter into the Mutual NDA using a separate Cover Page.

Steps:

1. Review the Mutual NDA (Cover Page Version) with your lawyer or legal counsel (see example)
2. Prepare your Cover Page (see example):
   • Identify the parties and complete the Key Terms: Purpose, Effective Date, Term of NDA, Confidentiality Period, Governing Law and Courts
   • Propose any Additional Terms (additions to, or motifications of the Mutual NDA)
3. Send the Cover Page to your counterparty 
4. Sign the Cover Page and create your Mutual NDA!

Option 2: Mutual NDA - Signable Version

Use this option if you prefer to sign the Mutual NDA itself.

Steps:
