Stop a partner from claiming your customers were theirs all along.
For when both sides are sharing — JV exploration, partnership discussions, and collaborations. This NDA does two things: it shows them you’re a serious professional, and it protects you when something goes wrong.
Starts at $197. Includes training + 2 months with a 20-year lawyer.
Get This Contract →A weak mutual NDA leaves you exposed — even when both sides signed it.
You explore a JV. You exchange customer lists, financials, and strategy. The deal falls through. Six months later, they’re using your information against you.
You go to enforce the NDA — and discover the template has so many holes it’s unenforceable in both directions. The breach was real. The remedy isn’t. You lose. They win.
This is the contract that protects both sides — and makes the breach undeniable.
Most founders need three NDAs — not just one.
Different situations call for different NDAs. This page is NDA #1.
For when you’re the one sharing — pitching investors, vetting advisors, exploring partnerships.
For when both sides are sharing — JV exploration, partnership discussions, mutual evaluations.
For when someone’s getting inside access to your business and confidential data — contractors, employees, advisors, agencies.
Get NDA #2 alone for $197 — or grab the Ultimate NDA Bundle (all 3 NDAs) for just $297.
What This Contract Defends Against.
These aren’t hypotheticals. They’re scenarios that play out in real courtrooms — and they’re the reason every clause in this NDA exists.
The Customer Poach
You exchange customer lists and pipeline data during JV exploration. The partnership fizzles. They start marketing aggressively to your customers, claiming they “already had relationships” with them.
Section on Specific Confidential Information explicitly names customer data, contact lists, and pipeline information — combined with mutual non-solicitation that locks both sides out of each other’s customers for 2 years.
The Walked-Away Clone
You share business model, operations, and strategy in M&A or partnership talks. They walk from the deal. Six months later, a strikingly similar product hits your market.
Mutual non-use clause prevents either party from leveraging shared confidential information to compete — even after the deal falls apart. Tight remedies that work both ways.
The “I Already Knew That” Standoff
Both sides exchanged confidential information. One breaches and uses the other’s. When sued, they claim everything was already known to them — and counter-sue with the same claim.
Written-acknowledgment requirement (both directions) forces each side to identify in writing what they already had before disclosure — eliminating the “I already knew it” defense for either party.
These are 3 of the scenarios that play out in court. There are many more. Every battle-tested clause in this contract exists because of something I’ve seen in 20 years of litigation and business.

Questions About This Contract.
Are you my lawyer? Is this legal advice?
No. These contracts and all related materials are educational and informational only. Purchase does not create an attorney-client relationship and no attorney-client privilege applies. No legal advice is provided through any product. Karam Nahas is not your attorney unless you sign a separate written legal engagement agreement. Consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction for advice specific to your situation.
What’s the Ultimate NDA Bundle and why is it the best deal?
The Ultimate NDA Bundle includes all three NDAs — NDA #1 (Founder’s Disclosure), NDA #2 (Mutual), and NDA #3 (Inside-the-Tent). Most founders eventually need more than one. Buying them separately costs $591. The Bundle is $297 — only $100 more than a single NDA. If you need more than one NDA in the next 12 months, the Bundle pays for itself instantly.
When should I use this Mutual NDA instead of NDA #1 (One-Way)?
Use this Mutual NDA when both sides will be sharing sensitive information — JV exploration, partnership discussions, M&A talks, cross-promotion deals. Use NDA #1 (One-Way) when you’re the primary discloser — like pitching investors who won’t be sharing confidential info back to you.
What if my partner sends their own mutual NDA instead?
That’s common — and it’s a moment to be careful. Most counter-party templates are framed mutually but drafted asymmetrically. Bring it to the Academy Q&A. We’ll review their version, identify what’s missing or weak, and show you what to push back on. The party that controls the language controls the outcome.
Can I use this NDA multiple times?
Yes. Once you purchase, use it as many times as you need for your business. New JV exploration? New partnership discussion? New cross-promo deal? Use it again. The walkthrough video and Academy help you customize for each situation.
What if the other party wants to modify the NDA?
That’s a normal part of negotiation. The walkthrough video covers which provisions are essential (don’t give up) and which are flexible (you can negotiate). With Tier 2+, you can bring the proposed changes into the Academy Q&A and we’ll work through them together.
Is this enforceable in my state?
This NDA is drafted to be enforceable in all 50 states under federal trade secret law and standard state-level NDA frameworks. The walkthrough video covers state-specific considerations (especially California’s restrictions on non-compete and non-solicit provisions, which this NDA navigates).
