Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a mutual and a one-way NDA?
A mutual (two-way) NDA protects both parties because each one discloses and receives confidential information. A one-way NDA is used when only one party shares information - for example a company sharing details with a candidate or reviewer. We offer both as separate templates.
Is this template legally binding in Australia?
When signed electronically through AirSign, agreements made with this template are supported by the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth) and equivalent state and territory legislation, with a complete audit trail attached to every signature. The wording is an Australian-aligned starting point - for important matters, have it reviewed by a qualified professional.
Can I customise the template before sending it?
Yes. Every field is a fillable variable - names, dates, amounts and other details are entered when you start, and the rest of the wording can be edited in the AirSign editor to suit your situation before you send.
Do the people signing need an AirSign account?
No. Signers receive a secure link by email and can review and sign in their browser - no account, app or installation required. Only the person sending the document needs an AirSign account.
Is it really free to start?
You can start from any template on the AirSign free trial with no credit card required. Browse the wording here, then create your account to fill it in and send it for signing.
