Why Ontario-specific matters

Generic "Canadian" templates from LawDepot don't account for Ontario's unique employment laws. Our non-disclosure agreement (nda) includes:

Confidentiality definitions that Ontario courts recognize and enforce

Proper exceptions for information already known or independently developed

Injunctive relief language that satisfies Ontario's equitable remedies requirements

Non-solicitation clauses that comply with Ontario employment law (if used with employees)

Governing law clause specifying Ontario law and Ontario courts

Survival provisions that extend beyond termination

Remedies that include both damages and equitable relief

Frequently asked questions

Should I use a mutual or one-way NDA?

Use a mutual NDA when both parties will share confidential information (e.g., partnership discussions, M&A negotiations). Use a one-way NDA when only you're disclosing information (e.g., hiring contractors, pitching investors). Our template lets you choose during generation.

Are NDAs enforceable in Ontario?

Yes, when properly drafted. Ontario courts enforce NDAs that have clear confidentiality definitions, reasonable scope, and proper exceptions. Our NDA includes language that Ontario courts have consistently upheld in breach cases.

Can I use this NDA with employees?

Yes, but be cautious with non-solicitation clauses. Ontario's Working for Workers Act (2021) restricts non-compete clauses for employees (though confidentiality obligations remain enforceable). Our NDA includes employee-appropriate language that complies with Ontario employment law.

How long should the NDA term be?

Most NDAs have 2-5 year terms for confidentiality obligations. Trade secrets can be protected indefinitely. Our template lets you customize the term based on your needs, with survival clauses that extend obligations beyond termination.

How is this different from LawDepot?

LawDepot's NDAs use generic language that doesn't account for Ontario's specific case law on enforceability. We include proper exceptions, remedies, and governing law clauses that Ontario courts recognize. Plus, no subscription—pay once, own forever.
