Document background
The Vendor Non Disclosure Agreement is essential for companies operating under Dutch law who need to share sensitive information with vendors while maintaining confidentiality and legal protection. This document is typically used before engaging in detailed business discussions, during vendor onboarding, or when existing vendors require access to confidential information. It incorporates key requirements from Dutch contract law, the Trade Secrets Act (Wet bescherming bedrijfsgeheimen), and where applicable, GDPR compliance measures. The agreement is structured to protect trade secrets, technical information, business strategies, and other proprietary information while facilitating necessary business relationships. It's particularly important in the Dutch business context where international trade and vendor relationships often require robust confidentiality protections that align with both Dutch and EU legal frameworks.
