Both sides will share confidential information. The usual choice when two businesses explore working together.
IC or passport number, SSM number, tax number — anything this party is identified by. Each row prints on the cover and can be pulled into a table.

This is a standard template, not legal advice. It is a reasonable starting point for everyday business, but law differs by country and by situation. Have a lawyer read anything that matters — including any clause you add yourself.

Second party
This agreement is made on __________ between the First Party (Company No. 000000-X) and the Second Party.
1. Purpose
The parties wish to share confidential information with each other in connection with the purpose described by the parties in writing.
2. Confidential information
"Confidential information" means non-public information disclosed by the disclosing party to the receiving party, in any form, whether or not it is marked confidential. It includes business plans, customer and supplier lists, pricing, source code, designs, and unreleased products.
It does not include information that is already public through no fault of the receiving party, that the receiving party already held without a duty of confidence, that the receiving party receives from a third party who is free to disclose it, or that the receiving party develops independently without using the other party's information.
3. Obligations
The receiving party will keep the confidential information secret, use it only for the purpose described by the parties in writing, and protect it with at least the care they use for their own confidential information.
The receiving party may share it with employees and advisers who need it for that purpose and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as strict as these. the receiving party remains responsible for their compliance.
4. Required disclosure
If the receiving party is required by law or a court to disclose confidential information, they may do so, but must — where legally permitted — tell the disclosing party first, so that the disclosing party has the chance to object or seek protection.
5. No licence, no obligation to proceed
Nothing here transfers ownership of, or grants a licence to, any intellectual property. Nothing here obliges either party to enter into any further agreement or transaction.
6. Term
This agreement takes effect on the date below and the confidentiality obligations continue for 24 months from that date.
On request, the receiving party will return or destroy the confidential information and confirm in writing that they have done so, except for copies kept automatically by routine backup systems.
7. Governing law
This agreement is governed by the laws of Malaysia, and the courts of Malaysia have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from it.
8. Entire agreement
This document is the entire agreement between the parties about its subject, and replaces earlier discussions. Any change must be in writing and signed by both parties.

How it works
- 1
Pick the agreement
A mutual NDA when both sides will share information. A one-way NDA when only you are disclosing. A service agreement when someone is being paid to do work.
- 2
Fill in the parties and terms
Names, registration numbers, IC or SSM numbers and addresses go onto the cover page, into the preamble and into the signature block. The purpose, term and governing law are written into the clauses as you type.
- 3
Add your own clauses and tables
Extra clauses continue the numbering after the standard ones, and two-column tables can be filled straight from the party details you already typed — useful for a schedule of items, rates or contacts.

Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?
No. These are standard templates of the kind small businesses sign every day, and they are a reasonable starting point. Law differs by country and by situation, so anything with real money or real risk attached should be read by a lawyer.
Are the details I type stored anywhere?
No. The document is assembled in your browser and nothing is sent over the network. It is also not saved to your device between visits, unlike the invoice tool — a contract holds the other party’s details, and quietly keeping those on a shared computer is not a decision this tool should make for you.
What is the difference between a mutual and a one-way NDA?
A mutual NDA binds both sides, and is the normal choice when two businesses are exploring working together. A one-way NDA binds only the receiving side, and fits when you are showing your own material to a contractor, agency or investor.
How long should the confidentiality period be?
Two to three years is common for commercial information. Longer periods are harder to enforce because information stops being genuinely secret, and courts look at whether the restriction is reasonable rather than simply what was written.
Who owns the work under the service agreement?
The client owns the deliverables once payment is made in full. The contractor keeps the tools, libraries and know-how they already had, and licenses them to the client as part of the deliverables — which is how most freelance work actually operates.
Can I add my own clauses?
Yes. The Extra clauses section takes a heading and a body, and each one is numbered after the standard clauses. The generated clauses themselves are fixed — they are the ones that make the agreement work, and a switch that quietly removes the governing law clause would be a trap rather than a feature. If you need those rewritten, that is the point at which a lawyer is cheaper than a template.
What is the cover page for?
It puts the agreement title, the date and both parties with their identifying numbers on a sheet of their own, which is how agreements are usually filed and handed over. Turn it off and the title moves to the top of the first page of clauses instead.
Can I put a table in the agreement?
Yes — two-column tables, added in the Tables section and printed after the clauses. A table can be filled in one click from the party details you already typed, then edited freely; the copy is independent, so changing the party form afterwards does not rewrite the table under you.
Does a printed and signed copy count?
In most places a signed paper agreement is binding, and so are many electronic signatures. What matters more than the format is that both parties clearly agreed to the same document — which is why the signature block names both sides and the effective date appears twice.
