The document linked below can be used to define a Unilateral agreement or a Mutual agreement, and therefore can only be completed by two (2) parties. If this document has been signed, and both parties agree to protect the company’s information against third-party competitors, the liability of any disclosed trade secrets will lie on the shoulders of the responsible party. The harmed party will be able to seek compensation for any and all lost revenue or other damage caused by the release of the confidential information.
