Enforceable in the UK, EU and US
An NDA signed via SigningVault is a Simple Electronic Signature (SES) under UK & EU eIDAS, the US ESIGN Act, and UETA. English courts have repeatedly upheld electronic signatures on commercial agreements (see Neocleous v Rees [2019] and the Law Commission's 2019 report on electronic execution).
Each signed NDA includes a tamper-evident audit log: who signed, when, from where, on what device, with what consent — plus a SHA-256 hash so any post-signing edit is detectable.
- One-way or mutual (bilateral) NDAs
- Trade-secret friendly perpetual option
- Tamper-evident audit trail + hash
- GDPR & UK GDPR compliant
FAQ
Common questions
Is an electronic NDA legally binding?+
Yes. NDAs signed electronically using a Simple Electronic Signature (SES) are legally binding under UK & EU eIDAS, the US ESIGN Act, and UETA. SigningVault's audit trail (timestamp, IP, consent, document hash) is admissible as evidence.
What's the difference between a one-way and mutual NDA?+
A one-way (unilateral) NDA protects information disclosed by one party. A mutual NDA protects information shared by both parties — common when two companies are exploring a partnership. SigningVault drafts either based on your description.
How long does an NDA last?+
Typically 2–5 years for commercial NDAs, though confidentiality of trade secrets can be perpetual. SigningVault suggests sensible defaults you can override.
Do I need a lawyer for an NDA?+
For standard commercial NDAs (interviews, partnerships, vendor discussions, freelance work), SigningVault's AI-drafted NDA covers the same ground a solicitor would draft from a template. For high-stakes M&A or trade-secret protection, have a lawyer review.
Can I send an NDA for free?+
You can draft unlimited NDAs on the free Personal plan. Sending for legally binding eSignature is included on Professional and Business plans.
