Mutual NDA, template
Every Listed Firm signs Sentinel's standard mutual NDA before being introduced to a principal. The same template is available to principals who want to put it in place before any conversation begins.
Sentinel Mutual NDA v1.0
Texas governed · 24-month term · Mutual obligations
Summary of key terms
- Mutual. Both parties protect each other's confidential information.
- Broad definition. Identities, routines, residences, family, business affairs, and any information disclosed in writing, orally, or by observation.
- Term. Twenty four (24) months from the date of execution; perpetual for trade secrets.
- No publicity. Neither party may name the other in marketing, case studies, press, or social media without prior written consent.
- Operator level. The firm binds its directors, employees, and subcontractors to the same standard.
- Injunctive relief. Breach entitles the non breaching party to immediate injunctive relief in addition to damages.
- Texas governed. Dallas County, Texas exclusive jurisdiction.
When the NDA applies
The NDA is in force from the moment Sentinel introduces a principal to a Listed Firm, and continues whether or not an engagement is signed. It survives termination of any subsequent service agreement.
Modifications
The standard template is non negotiable for firms admitted to Sentinel. Principals may request rider provisions (e.g., heightened operator level obligations, narrower permitted disclosure carve outs) by contacting Sentinel counsel before introduction.
