Legal Documents
NDA [Non Disclosure Agreement]:
General info on NDA's.
A non disclosure agreement is generally defined as a legally binding document that keeps an individual from sharing information, the information under the NDA can be effectively anything which includes but is not limited to; trade secrets, proprietary assets, any artwork pertaining to the IP and unfortunately misconduct, whether it's between employees and business partners. NDA's are a way to silence people however they are a useful tool when trying to get an edge over a competitor in the industry so they won't have information on the types of projects or technology you are working on.
I created this NDA in word using a template generated by ChatGPT, this enabled me to read through the document and add in the relevant information for example the types of information that need to stay under the non disclosure agreement like the assets and concepts were create while on the project. This document outlines all of the information that we have to keep under wraps as well as how long for.
Each of us have read and signed it so we are technically under the contract to keep our information private, however there are no lawyers to stop us and there aren't any people that would try sue us for breaking the contract as we are the studio executives.
