An Arizona non-disclosure agreement is a document that contractually binds two (2) or more parties to holding and maintaining Confidential Information, thus protecting an organization’s trade secrets. What classifies as “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, documents, records, marketing plans, technical procedures, software, and prototypes.
If a third (3rd) party or the public should get a hold of said information, the party responsible will be 100% liable, and the harmed party will be entitled to seek compensation and relief for any damages caused.
