A Mutual Confidentiality Agreement between a Disclosing Party and a Receiving Party is a contract that governs the sharing of confidential information between the two entities. The agreement typically sets out the conditions under which the information may be shared and how it should be protected. Commonly, the agreement will include a statement of purpose, definitions of confidential information, obligations of the parties, restrictions on disclosure, confidentiality obligations, and rights of the parties. Types of Mutual Confidentiality Agreements between Disclosing Party and Receiving Party include: 1. Stand-alone Mutual Confidentiality Agreement: This is a stand-alone agreement that is signed by both the Disclosing and Receiving Parties and governs the sharing of confidential information between the two. 2. Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement: This type of agreement is usually incorporated into a larger contract or agreement between the parties. It sets out the conditions under which the confidential information can be shared and how it should be protected. 3. Mutual Non-Compete Agreement: This type of agreement is used when parties are entering into a business relationship. It sets out the conditions under which the parties will not compete with each other. 4. Mutual Non-Circumvention Agreement: This type of agreement is used to ensure that neither party will attempt to circumvent the other in a business transaction. It sets out the conditions under which the parties will not engage in any activity that would undermine the terms of the agreement.
