An Illinois Confidentiality Agreement is a legally binding contract between two or more parties that outlines the terms and conditions for the sharing of confidential information. The agreement outlines the types of information that is to be kept confidential, the duration of the agreement, and the parties’ obligations and liabilities in the event of a breach of the agreement. It also outlines the restrictions on the use and disclosure of the confidential information. A Nonrepresentation Acknowledgement is a legal document that acknowledges that the parties involved in a particular transaction do not represent each other and that they do not have an agency relationship. It also outlines the expectations and limits of the relationship between the parties and clarifies the roles and responsibilities of each party. There are two types of Illinois Confidentiality Agreements: Bilateral and Unilateral. A Bilateral Confidentiality Agreement is one in which both parties agree to keep the information confidential and not to disclose it to any third-party, whereas a Unilateral Confidentiality Agreement is one in which only one party agrees to keep the information confidential. There are also two types of Nonrepresentation Acknowledgements: General and Specific. A General Nonrepresentation Acknowledgement is one in which the parties acknowledge that they do not represent each other and that they do not have an agency relationship. A Specific Nonrepresentation Acknowledgement is one in which the parties specify their roles and responsibilities in the transaction.
