This Non-Disclosure Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as of 2026-04-07 (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.
In accordance with O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq. (Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act), the Receiving Party acknowledges that the Disclosing Party's client lists, proprietary GPS walking routes, and specific animal behavioral intervention protocols constitute legitimate business interests and trade secrets. The Receiving Party agrees that for a period of two (2) years following termination of service, they shall not use or disclose such confidential information to solicit clients of the Disclosing Party, as such information is not generally known to the public and confers economic value to the Disclosing Party.
Notwithstanding the confidentiality obligations herein, the Receiving Party shall not be in breach for disclosing Confidential Information to (a) an emergency veterinarian or animal control officer to the extent necessary to preserve the life or safety of an animal under the Receiving Party's care, or (b) as required by Georgia's animal welfare laws or local municipal ordinances. Furthermore, no part of this agreement prohibits disclosure required by law or the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, provided the Disclosing Party is given reasonable notice to seek a protective order.
The Receiving Party recognizes that household security, including but not limited to key lockbox combinations, smart lock digital codes, and alarm system bypass codes, are highly sensitive. In alignment with O.C.G.A. § 10-1-910 regarding data security, any unauthorized sharing of these credentials shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party must immediately return all physical keys and certify in writing the deletion of all digital access credentials from any personal electronic devices.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Non-Disclosure Agreement as of the date first written above.

As a professional dog walker in Georgia, you aren't just handling pets; you are a key holder with access to private residences, security codes, and sensitive household information. Whether you are hiring a pack walk assistant or sub-contracting for solo walks, protecting your client list and proprietary emergency vet protocols is essential. In a state governed by the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act and strict restrictive covenant laws (O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50), a generic agreement isn't enough to prevent the disclosure of your trade secrets or ensure business continuity.
Yes. This agreement specifically identifies client contact information and property access methods (like key lockboxes and alarm codes) as confidential. Under Georgia's Restrictive Covenants Act, protecting such information is considered a legitimate business interest.
Yes. While Georgia is an at-will state under O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1, confidentiality requirements survive termination. However, to ensure enforceability, the agreement must be clear and signed by both parties, often supported by the consideration of continued employment or initial hiring.
In Georgia, legal requirements or emergency vet situations may require you to share information. This NDA includes clauses for permitted disclosures so you can share pet health data with medical professionals or animal control without breaching your contract.
Absolutely. Proprietary data like GPS tracking routes and specific behavioral assessment notes are defined as confidential, preventing former walkers from using your specialized training or routing methods to compete against you.
