NDA — Bilateral

Who It's For

• Companies entering commercial negotiations where confidential information will be exchanged
• Founders in early-stage discussions with potential investors, acquirers, or strategic partners
• Teams onboarding contractors, consultants, or vendors who will access proprietary data
• Any party sharing financial projections, product roadmaps, client lists, or technical specifications

Why You Need It

A verbal agreement or an informal email chain has no legal standing in Uzbek courts. To bring a claim for breach of confidentiality, you need a signed written agreement that specifically defines what constitutes confidential information, the duration of the obligation, permitted uses, and the remedies available. This NDA is drafted to the precise requirements of Uzbek civil law — not adapted from a Western template — and covers trade secrets, intellectual property, business strategies, and financial data. It also includes a unilateral variant for situations where only one party is disclosing.

Risks Without It

• No legal basis to prevent a counterparty from sharing or using your confidential information
• Trade secrets disclosed without any mechanism to claim damages in Uzbek courts
• Permanent loss of competitive advantage — once information is shared, it cannot be undisclosed
• Investors or partners who see your financials or product roadmap before signing have no obligation to keep them confidential
