Our one-way confidentiality agreement is designed to be used when just one of the parties will disclose information that is of a confidential nature. Whatever the nature of the information you will be disclosing is, this agreement will ensure robust contractual protection.

Using the Confidentiality Agreement template

This document will give protection to your ideas or information. So others can’t then copy, discuss or use your ideas or information without your prior written consent.

You can download the template in Word format and then edit it to your specific requirements. The agreement has been drafted by our expert in-house solicitor, David. He has designed it to be simple to complete, without needing any prior legal knowledge. Simply follow the guide and edit the text within the square brackets throughout the agreement. We have written the one-way confidentiality agreement in concise, clear text that is free from the usual technical jargon.

We estimate drafting time at about 10 minutes. Legalo supports this document with our helpline (free by email and telephone).

When to use this One-Way Confidentiality Agreement

We have several confidentiality agreements for sale on our website. How do you know which one is the best for your needs?

If there is to be only one party disclosing private and confidential information, you would use this one-way confidentiality agreement template or the abbreviated (one-way) confidentiality letter version.

After you have bought the agreement all you have to do is download, fill it in, print it and have both parties sign it. Once both parties involved have signed it, you can then safely hand over the confidential information to the other party. You can re-access the template free of charge at anytime. So you can make further changes or re-use it at a later date free of charge.

This one-way confidentiality agreement is for use if only one person is disclosing the information. You would use our template for a mutual or reciprocal confidentiality agreement if both parties are going to disclose information to each other.

As mentioned above, if you prefer a very short document, then the confidentiality letter covers the same points, but it provides a lower level of detail.
