This Non-Disclosure Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as of 2026-04-25 (the "Effective Date"), by and between [disclosing_party] (the "Disclosing Party") and [receiving_party] (the "Receiving Party"). The Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party may be referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."
WHEREAS, the Disclosing Party possesses certain confidential and proprietary information relating to its business, operations, products, services, research, development, technical data, trade secrets, and other matters (collectively, "Confidential Information"); and
WHEREAS, the Receiving Party desires to receive, and the Disclosing Party is willing to disclose, certain Confidential Information for the purpose of evaluating or pursuing a potential business relationship between the Parties (the "Purpose"); and
WHEREAS, as a condition to the disclosure of such Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party requires that the Receiving Party agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
"Confidential Information" means any and all non-public information, in any form or medium, whether written, oral, electronic, visual, or otherwise, that is disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party, either directly or indirectly, including but not limited to: [confidential_info]. Confidential Information shall also include any notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries, or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party that contain, reflect, or are derived from Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault, act, or omission of the Receiving Party; (b) was already in the Receiving Party's possession without restriction prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by the Receiving Party's written records; (c) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information, as evidenced by the Receiving Party's written records; or (d) is obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party who is not, to the Receiving Party's knowledge, under any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information.
The Receiving Party agrees that it shall: (a) hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence and protect it with at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care; (b) not disclose, publish, or otherwise disseminate the Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; (c) use the Confidential Information solely for the Purpose and not for any other purpose whatsoever; (d) limit access to the Confidential Information to those of its employees, officers, directors, agents, advisors, and representatives (collectively, "Representatives") who have a need to know such information for the Purpose and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality no less restrictive than those contained herein; and (e) be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives. The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law, regulation, or valid court order or subpoena (a "Legal Requirement"), provided that the Receiving Party: (a) provides the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such Legal Requirement prior to disclosure (to the extent legally permissible), so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy; (b) cooperates with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party's expense, in seeking such protective order or other remedy; and (c) discloses only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose, as advised by its legal counsel. Any Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to a Legal Requirement shall continue to be treated as Confidential Information for all other purposes under this Agreement.
This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated by either Party upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the other Party. Notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Receiving Party's obligations of confidentiality with respect to all Confidential Information disclosed during the term of this Agreement shall survive and continue for a period as specified below from the date of disclosure of each item of Confidential Information.
Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, or upon the written request of the Disclosing Party at any time, the Receiving Party shall promptly: (a) return to the Disclosing Party all originals and copies of any documents, materials, and other tangible items containing or embodying Confidential Information; or (b) at the Disclosing Party's option, destroy all such documents, materials, and tangible items and provide the Disclosing Party with a written certification signed by an authorized officer of the Receiving Party confirming that all such materials have been destroyed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may retain one (1) archival copy of the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of monitoring its ongoing obligations under this Agreement, and any Confidential Information retained in routine backup systems shall be subject to the continuing confidentiality obligations of this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting to the Receiving Party any license, right, title, or interest in or to the Confidential Information, or any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property right of the Disclosing Party. All Confidential Information shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party. The Disclosing Party makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party acknowledges that it shall use the Confidential Information at its own risk.
The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security. Such equitable relief shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of [state_law] for the adjudication of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any objection it may have to such jurisdiction or venue, including any objection based on inconvenient forum.
9.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof. 9.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 9.3 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by both Parties. 9.4 Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving Party. The failure of either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that Party's right to enforce that provision or any other provision of this Agreement in the future. 9.5 Assignment. The Receiving Party may not assign or transfer this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. Any attempted assignment in violation of this provision shall be void and of no effect. 9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 9.7 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, sent by confirmed electronic mail, or sent by nationally recognized overnight courier to the addresses of the Parties as set forth in the preamble of this Agreement, or to such other address as either Party may designate in writing.
The Receiving Party acknowledges their understanding that any Protected Health Information (PHI), as defined by the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), 45 CFR Part 160 and Part 164, Subparts A and E, and other patient-specific data, including but not limited to patient records, X-ray images, and individualized treatment plans, constitutes Confidential Information under this Agreement. The Receiving Party agrees to comply with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations governing the privacy and security of such information, including, but not limited to, HIPAA and its implementing regulations, as well as New Jersey Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act (TCCWNA, N.J.S.A. 56:12-14 et seq.) requirements concerning consumer notices.
The Receiving Party shall not use Confidential Information relating to patient treatment methods, informed consent forms, or malpractice mitigation strategies to circumvent the Disclosing Party's established protocols for patient care, informed consent, or liability management. Any breach related to patient injury claims, malpractice liability, or informed consent gaps resulting from the misuse of said Confidential Information shall be subject to the full remedies outlined herein, with due consideration given to New Jersey's stringent requirements for patient care and the professional conduct of Doctors of Chiropractic (D.C.) as governed by the New Jersey Board of Chiropractic Examiners.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Receiving Party is hereby notified that nothing contained herein prevents the Receiving Party from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, or any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Furthermore, this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA), N.J. Stat. Ann. § 34:19-1 to 34:19-14. If any portion of this Agreement is found to conflict with CEPA or any other applicable New Jersey statute, that portion shall be deemed severable, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

As a chiropractor in New Jersey, safeguarding sensitive patient data like X-rays, treatment plans, and personal health information is paramount. Our Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is specifically designed to protect your practice's confidential information, ensuring compliance with HIPAA regulations and New Jersey's unique consumer protection laws, minimizing your liability risks.
Beyond the standard non-disclosure agreement sections, this template adds fields specific to Chiropractor:
The core legal purpose of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is to establish a legal framework to protect confidential and proprietary information shared between parties. It restricts the unauthorized disclosure or use of such information, thereby enabling parties to collaborate, negotiate, or explore business opportunities while safeguarding sensitive information.
Informed consent gaps
Use standardized forms and thorough documentation to ensure that patients understand and consent to the treatment being provided.
New Jersey has specific legal nuances, including the NJ Consumer Fraud Act, CEPA whistleblower protection, and Truth-in-Consumer Contract law. A tailored NDA ensures your agreement complies with these state provisions, offering stronger enforceability and protection against potential claims from employees or partners, unlike a generic NDA.
Yes, while a standalone NDA doesn't replace a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for HIPAA, this NDA reinforces the confidentiality of protected health information (PHI) among your staff, contractors, or partners. It explicitly defines patient data, X-rays, and treatment plans as confidential, aligning with the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates for data security and privacy.
Absolutely. Our NDA allows you to clearly define proprietary treatment methods, patient intake forms, diagnostic criteria, and business strategies as confidential information. This prevents unauthorized disclosure or use of your unique 'subluxation' methodologies or specific 'adjustment' techniques that give your practice a competitive edge.
The New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA), N.J. Stat. Ann. § 34:19-1 to 34:19-14, provides strong whistleblower protections. This NDA is drafted to protect your legitimate confidential business information, such as patient lists and proprietary treatment protocols, while explicitly not hindering an individual's right to report unlawful activities as defined by CEPA, ensuring your agreement remains enforceable and compliant with state law.
