QUESTION: Dana, I understand you have a sample confidentiality agreement. We currently have one that our attorney prepared, but have some difficulty with some service providers refusing to sign the agreement. Obviously, they are being dropped if they are not willing to comply. Many object to the stringent terms that were outlined by the attorney. I would like to make a comparison between yours and ours.
ANSWER: You can access my sample confidentiality agreement on BOL at the following location: http://www.bankersonline.com/sampleconfident.html
As a reminder, you should have every person who fits into certain categories sign some form of a confidentiality agreement before he/she is permitted to perform tasks for you. You should have your legal counsel customize the attached sample to fit the requirements of these categories before you actually use them, and the categories include:
Directors;
Employees;
Temporary workers;
Service providers; and
Vendors.
