Multi-Party Non-Disclosure Agreement
A multi-party non-disclosure agreement is a confidentiality contract binding three or more parties to protect each other's confidential information under the same mutual obligations. Use this when several companies or individuals — for example partners in a joint venture, collaborators on a project, or parties to a multi-way negotiation — will each be sharing confidential information with the others and all need to be bound by the same mutual confidentiality obligations.
