4.8/5 on G2 · Trusted by 1,850+ agencies & freelancers in 40+ countries · Updated October 2026What is an NDA template in Word?
An NDA template in Word is an editable .docx non-disclosure agreement with the standard clauses already written, so you fill in the parties, the purpose and what is confidential instead of drafting from scratch.
Each template uses Word heading styles for its numbered clauses, so the Navigation Pane lists every clause. Placeholders sit in [square brackets]. Choose mutual when both sides share information and one-way when only one does. These are general templates, not legal advice: for trade secrets or high-value deals, have a local lawyer review the agreement.

Partnerships, pitches and projects where both sides share information.
When only one side shares confidential information.
Freelancers who will see client data, logins or plans.
Agencies protecting client data across their team and subcontractors.
Quick, low-risk conversations that still need something in writing.
Employers protecting business information during and after employment.
The mutual NDA filled in between an agency and a client discussing a website redesign, with specific examples of what counts as confidential.
A finished, realistic NDA to copy the wording from.
| Clause | What it says | Example wording |
|---|---|---|
| Parties | Who is sharing and who is receiving | "Brightline Studio LLC and GreenLeaf Organics Inc." |
| Purpose | Why the information is shared | "To evaluate a website redesign and retainer" |
| Confidential information | What is protected, with examples | "Sales figures, launch plans and customer data" |
| Exclusions | What is not protected | "Information that is already public" |
| Obligations | How the receiving party must treat it | "Use it only for the Purpose" |
| Permitted disclosures | Staff, advisers and legal requirements | "Staff who need to know it" |
| Term and survival | How long the duties last | "2 years after the last disclosure" |
| Return or destruction | What happens to the information at the end | "Return or delete on request" |
| No licence | Sharing does not transfer ownership | "No licence is granted" |
| Remedies | What the disclosing party can do after a breach | "May seek an injunction" |
| Governing law and signatures | Which laws apply, then both signatures | "Laws of the State of Texas" |
Mutual if both sides will share information, one-way if only one side will. Freelancers signing with a client can use the freelancer version.
Replace the placeholders with full legal names, addresses and the people signing. Press Ctrl+H (Cmd+H on Mac) and search for "[" to find every placeholder.
List real examples, such as pricing, customer data or source code. A specific definition is easier to rely on than a vague one.
Two or three years is common for business information; trade secrets are usually protected for as long as they stay secret.
Keep the standard exclusions for public, already known and independently developed information.
Use File > Save As > PDF, then sign or send it for e-signature with Taskip e-signatures before any information is shared.
| Mutual NDA | One-way NDA | |
|---|---|---|
| Who shares | Both parties | Only the disclosing party |
| Who is bound | Both parties | Only the receiving party |
| Typical use | Partnerships, pitches, joint projects | Hiring a freelancer, sharing plans with a supplier |
| Template | Mutual NDA | One-way, freelancer or client NDA |
An NDA and a confidentiality agreement are the same document under two names. A confidentiality clause is the same idea placed inside a larger contract.
A non-compete is different: it restricts working for competitors, not sharing information. Many countries limit non-competes, so these templates cover confidentiality only. The NDA generator page compares NDAs, non-competes and non-solicitation clauses in more detail.
NDAs in India are governed by the Indian Contract Act, 1872. Confidentiality obligations are generally enforceable, but under section 27 restrictions that stop someone working for others after a relationship ends are generally void, so keep an NDA to confidentiality.
Stamp duty on agreements depends on the state, so check the current rules for your state or use e-stamping. This is general information, not legal advice.

Word has a few agreement designs under File > New. The templates on this page are free .docx files with the full set of NDA clauses and a signature block, with no Microsoft account needed.
The parties, the purpose, a definition of confidential information, exclusions, the receiving party's obligations, permitted disclosures, the term, return of information, remedies, governing law and signatures.
As long as it says. Two or three years after the last disclosure is common for business information; trade secrets are often protected for as long as they remain secret.
Use a mutual NDA when both sides will share confidential information, and a one-way NDA when only one side will.
In most countries electronic signatures are accepted for NDAs, with some exceptions for specific documents. An e-signature tool also records who signed and when. This is general information, not legal advice.
