A mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (also called a bilateral or two-way NDA) is the standard form when both parties will see each other’s confidential material. SendbyLaw generates a jurisdiction-aware draft from your sender profile, lets you edit it, or lets you paste your own text, then sends a signing link so the other party must assent before they reach your file or URL.

SendbyLaw provides templates and a signing workflow. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Have a lawyer review any NDA you rely on.

When you need a mutual NDA

Choose a mutual NDA when confidential flow is two-directional. Typical situations include vendor–customer pilots where each side shares process details, co-marketing where brand assets move both ways, and early commercial talks where pricing, roadmaps, and customer lists are exchanged.

• Joint development or integration work
• Two-way diligence (each party reviews the other’s materials)
• Partnerships and channel discussions
• Agencies working inside a client’s systems while also sharing their own methods

Key clauses, in plain English

Definition of confidential information

The draft describes what counts as confidential — documents, data, oral disclosures, and content unlocked after signing. Mutual forms apply that definition to both parties in their role as discloser or recipient.

Purpose and use limits

Recipients should use the information only for the stated purpose (evaluating a deal, performing services, reviewing a transfer). Using it to compete or to brief unrelated third parties is the core restriction most mutual NDAs exist to create.

Duration

SendbyLaw lets you set how long confidentiality lasts. Trade secrets sometimes need a longer horizon than a marketing campaign. Pick a duration that matches the material, then have counsel confirm it.

How SendbyLaw uses this template

On the home page, choose General / Mutual NDA. Set your country and city (and state or canton where required). Preview the generated text, edit clauses if you need to, or upload your own NDA. After you sign as sender, you get a short link. The recipient signs, then opens the protected URL or file.

Free accounts can protect external links and host uploads (up to 200 MB per file, 512 MB storage). Paid plans add larger files, more storage, tracking, and custom branding. Storage ranges from 512 MB on Free to 4 TB on Ultra.

Mutual NDA vs. uploading your own

If your company already has a paper NDA, paste or type that text as a user-supplied document. SendbyLaw still records who signed and when. The platform does not rewrite your counsel’s language into a “better” contract — it delivers what you send.
