Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement
This Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) may be used to discuss confidential topics in the process of identifying a collaboration or procurement opportunity. To expedite the negotiation and signature process, please ask your external collaborators or vendors to:
-
- Open the online NDA template, powered by Adobe Sign, by clicking here;
- Enter certain information into the online NDA template (e.g., company name, address, notice contact, university faculty/staff contact) using the instructions in the form; and
- Sign the NDA in Adobe Sign.
This will send the partially signed NDA to OTT for countersignature. If the information entered by the external party checks out (e.g., name and entity type/jurisdiction match the Secretary of State filing exactly, the university faculty/staff member desires to enter into the arrangement), OTT will sign the NDA and all parties will automatically receive the fully signed copy. All university employees who will have access to external parties’ confidential information will be required to acknowledge, via reply email, that they (1) have read and understand the NDA and (2) will comply with its terms and conditions. (Note: Unpaid university students will not be covered by university NDAs, but instead, will have to sign separate NDAs with the external parties in their personal capacities.)
Questions about this NDA process should be directed to techtransfer@boisestate.edu.
