Mutual NDAs UK: What to Check & How to Get Yours Signed

A mutual NDA is the document you write before you share confidential information. ChickenSign does not provide that NDA. Upload your PDF and send each party a private link.

What makes an NDA enforceable in England and Wales

Quick Answer / Definition

An NDA should define the confidential information, the permitted purpose, the exceptions, and a reasonable period. Vague wording that calls everything confidential is harder to enforce.

Write those points in your own NDA before you upload it. Typical exceptions are information that is already public, already known, independently created, or required to be disclosed by law.

ChickenSign does not draft that wording. It sends the PDF you upload and keeps the audit record of the signatures.
