Document background
The Short Form NDA is designed for situations requiring quick implementation of confidentiality protections under Swiss law. It's particularly useful for initial business discussions, due diligence processes, or preliminary negotiations where parties need to share sensitive information before establishing a more detailed commercial relationship. This document type provides essential confidentiality safeguards while remaining concise and easily understandable, making it ideal for time-sensitive situations or when a more comprehensive NDA might deter business progress. The agreement incorporates key requirements of Swiss law, including provisions from the Swiss Code of Obligations and data protection regulations, while maintaining a practical, business-friendly approach. It's structured to be both legally robust and commercially pragmatic, suitable for both domestic Swiss operations and international business relationships where Swiss law is chosen for its strong protection of confidential information and efficient dispute resolution mechanisms.
