## NDA review checklist (internal)

### Parties & purpose
- Correct legal names; affiliate coverage matches actual disclosure needs
- Purpose limited to evaluation of [specific project]

### Confidentiality scope
- Definition covers technical + commercial materials; excludes publicly available info
- Marking rules practical (written + identified oral)

### Duration

- **Residuals** memory carve-outs (often unacceptable)
- **Non-compete / exclusivity** smuggled into NDA
- **IP assignment** beyond feedback clauses

- Confirm return/destruction on termination
- Record exceptions list if any pre-existing overlaps

### Escalate if
- One-way obligations with broad definition; venue in hostile jurisdiction; uncapped liability
