Document background
The Simple NDA is designed for use in South African business contexts where parties need to protect confidential information during initial discussions, negotiations, or ongoing business relationships. This document type is particularly suitable for standard business interactions where detailed or complex confidentiality provisions are not required. The agreement ensures compliance with South African legislation, including POPIA and common law principles governing confidentiality. It typically covers definition of confidential information, usage restrictions, security measures, and breach consequences. The Simple NDA is commonly used in scenarios such as business negotiations, potential partnerships, service provider engagements, or consultant relationships where sensitive information needs to be shared but the relationship doesn't warrant a more complex confidentiality agreement.
