# NDA Summary Distills an NDA into a structured, scannable reference covering material terms, obligations, and risk areas. ## Prerequisites - Complete NDA (executed or near-final draft) - Any amendments or side letters modifying original terms ## Quick Start 1. Read the full NDA and any amendments 2. Extract terms into each section below, citing section numbers 3. Flag gaps, ambiguities, and non-market terms in Risk Flags 4. Mark silent topics as **[NOT ADDRESSED]** and uncertain citations as **[VERIFY]** ## Output Sections ### 1. Overview Extract: parties (full legal names, Disclosing/Receiving/Mutual roles), effective date, purpose/context, agreement type (unilateral/mutual), governing law and venue. ### 2. Confidential Information Extract: - **Definition** — quote or paraphrase with scope - **Categories** — listed categories from agreement - **Exclusions** — publicly available, independently developed, prior knowledge, authorized disclosure - **Standard of care** — same-as-own / reasonable care / heightened - **Marking requirements** — written marking, oral designation follow-up ### 3. Disclosure Parameters Extract: - **Permitted recipients** — employees, contractors, advisors, affiliates; note need-to-know or binding requirements - **Permitted uses** — evaluation, due diligence, project scope - **Prohibited uses** — reverse engineering, competitive use, etc. - **Compelled disclosure** — legal process / regulatory; note advance-notice and protective-order rights ### 4. Term and Survival Extract: agreement duration, survival period post-termination, return/destruction requirements and certification obligations. ### 5. Breach Remedies For each, note whether present (Y/N) and details: - **Injunctive relief** — bond waiver? - **Liquidated damages** — amount/formula - **Indemnification** — scope, legal fees - **Liability cap** — amount, exclusions (consequential, punitive) - **Dispute resolution** — arbitration, mediation, forum ### 6. Additional Terms Extract if present: non-solicitation/non-compete, IP ownership or licensing, representations re authority to disclose, assignment restrictions, third-party beneficiary provisions. ### 7. Risk Flags - [ ] **Unusual terms** — deviations from market-standard NDAs - [ ] **Onerous obligations** — asymmetric burdens, broad definitions, long survival - [ ] **Ambiguities** — vague definitions, internal inconsistencies - [ ] **Gaps** — missing standard of care, survival period, return/destruction, compelled-disclosure carve-out - [ ] **Enforceability concerns** — overbroad scope, unreasonable duration ## Pitfalls - **Silent topics**: Always flag missing standard of care, survival period, and return/destruction — these are the most commonly omitted - **Quoting vs. paraphrasing**: Quote definitions and key obligations exactly; paraphrase elsewhere for brevity - **No legal advice**: Flag issues for attorney review — do not opine on enforceability - **Section citations**: Every extracted term must reference a section number or page - **Length**: Target 1–3 pages depending on NDA complexity
