What is ReadyNDA?

keyboard_arrow_down

ReadyNDA is a service offering a standardized, straightforward, comprehensive mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that can be quickly and easily signed by two parties (i.e., you and another company).

Before two companies explore working together, ReadyNDA allows them to execute a mutual NDA in seconds, without any legal costs or back-and-forth. Once signed, both parties can freely and confidently share information with one another as they evaluate a business relationship.

If you and the other party decide to move forward with a full business relationship, your ReadyNDA can be further strengthened or modified in a Master Agreement governing the relationship.

Why was ReadyNDA created?

keyboard_arrow_down

Unfortunately, signing an initial NDA can often waste days or even weeks of momentum in a sales process, slowing down sales cycles and causing leads to drop. Getting one signed can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars in needless legal hours spent going back-and-forth over a preposition in subclause 35(b).

A starting mutual NDA should be the easiest document you ever sign, and it almost never comes into play, even in the event of a dispute. You don’t even know if you’ll wind up working with someone, and yet business owners, sales teams, and lawyers often find themselves going back-and-forth on what should be a formality.

ReadyNDA removes this overlooked and needless point of friction in the exploration phase of a new business relationship. Just one click from both parties, and you’re ready to move forward.

What do lawyers think of ReadyNDA?

keyboard_arrow_down

Lawyers generally love ReadyNDA, because they dislike wasting time on tasks as trivial as most NDAs. They’d rather be working on big-ticket items that move the needle for your business, and avoid the context switching of a time-sensitive request (like reviewing yet another NDA). Ethically, they also love to save clients money by avoiding extraneous billable hours wherever they can.

Ask your lawyer what they think! Just send them ReadyNDA.com and ask if they’d be comfortable with you signing our NDA with someone you’re interested in doing business with. If your attorney approves it once, you can sign it a thousand times – it never changes, and it never will.

How does ReadyNDA work?

keyboard_arrow_down

ReadyNDA works by providing a unique URL for each company that links to a standardized mutual NDA that already has your information pre-populated. E.g., ReadyNDA.com/company

Just send your link to anyone you’d like to sign an NDA with. After they click your link, they’ll be prompted to enter their information, review the NDA, and digitally sign it. You’ll be notified via email when they sign so you can countersign, and then a fully executed document will be emailed to both signers and stored in your account at ReadyNDA.com as well.

Does the ReadyNDA document ever change?

keyboard_arrow_down

No, the ReadyNDA document does not change. It is a standardized NDA with terms that are designed to be agreeable to a wide variety of businesses.The reason it never changes is that we want you to send it to your lawyer once for approval, and then have confidence to sign it a thousand times knowing that we verify its consistency as the same exact document.

Can I modify the ReadyNDA?

keyboard_arrow_down

No, the ReadyNDA is designed to be standard and unchanging. If you need a specific clause or modification, you should consider a traditional NDA process with your attorney. Conveniently as part of our mission, we also allow free users to download ReadyNDA, modify it yourself as needed, and send it out as a traditional PDF attachment for redlining and signature. (Of course, any customized NDAs that you sign in this manner won’t be able to be sent or signed via your ReadyNDA.com link, or stored on ReadyNDA.)

How much does ReadyNDA cost?
