A nondisclosure agreement—also known as an NDA, a confidentiality agreement, or a confidential disclosure agreement (CDA)—is a legally enforceable contract between persons or entities who want to share confidential, proprietary information with each other without the other party or parties to the agreement (1) using the information shared for a purpose other than the intended purpose (as defined in the NDA) or (2) sharing the confidential, proprietary information with persons or entities who are not parties to the NDA.

Nondisclosure agreements are generally interpreted and enforced according to the contract law of the state where one or both parties are located, and may governed by the law of the state the parties’ agreed to in a choice of law provision in the NDA.

In Wyoming, nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) are recognized and enforceable contracts that are used to protect confidential and proprietary information shared between parties. The enforceability of an NDA in Wyoming is based on general principles of contract law, which require that the agreement be entered into by parties with the capacity to contract, for a lawful purpose, and with mutual consent. The NDA must clearly define the confidential information, the scope of the confidentiality obligation, the duration of the obligation, and any exclusions from confidential treatment. Wyoming courts will interpret and enforce NDAs according to the terms agreed upon by the parties, provided those terms are not illegal or unconscionable. If the NDA includes a choice of law provision, Wyoming courts will typically honor this provision and apply the law of the state specified, as long as it does not contravene Wyoming public policy. It is important for parties entering into an NDA in Wyoming to ensure that the terms are clear and that they understand their rights and obligations under the agreement. An attorney can provide guidance on drafting and reviewing NDAs to ensure they meet legal requirements and effectively protect the parties' interests.
