Advice from an old farmer: Avoid signing anything.

I just started saying, "If you are in need of my services, and require me to sign an NDA, you must cover the legal fees necessary for my choice of lawyer to review it."

Depending on where you're from, being aware of your local intellectual property laws and the like should not take too much effort in my opinion. Whenever I receive an offer/a contract/etc I take a lot of red pen to it and send it back with my comments. Most companies have no problem with this, the ones that do are good to avoid anyway.

This sounds great on the first glance, I wonder: how is it taken in practice? I guess it is slightly better than clear refusal...

I find it odd that a project to "standardize the NDA" doesn't let me view the template anywhere on the website directly, without giving them personal information

You can see it for free, but you're gonna have to sign their NDA before.

In cases like this, my company name is asfsafasfsa and my email is sadasfsa@safsafsa.com.

The url is OneNDA and the title typed here is OneDNA, perhaps this bodes poorly for how memorable/repeatable the name is.

Title? Probably should be

"OneNDA - We've Standardised the NDA"

Why do I need to put in my email address to even view the contents of the NDA?

jopsen|4 years ago

Maybe they put it behind an NDA..

I clicked around and couldn't see the actual text either...

I thought NDAs were already pretty much standardized. If I need one, my lawyer has one made for all 50 states that is just a fill-in-the-blanks document.

It's the same thing with all the lawyers - and that's the problem. Each NDA you get is a bit different and takes some effort to check.

I spent quite a while looking for a link from which to git-clone and never found one.

It is advertised as We’ve created a crowd-sourced, open-source standard NDA that companies can adopt as their own.

The desire to trademark the name makes sense, so that "oneNDA" can mean something, but to reap the true benefit of the crowd, CC-BY-SA would be a much better fit than the present CC-BY-ND, no?

Is it their business model that they charge for derivatives? I find it weird that there is no bigger adoption of open source in legal documents. I find 'pull requests' on our contracts always interesting.

Most ridiculous thing is needing to sign a confidentiality agreement to visit the office to do a job interview

JoeAltmaier|4 years ago

I wonder how it even works? A contract, to be binding, must have 'value received' as I understand it. What value does the corporation offer? Am I being paid to interview? No? Then there is no contract.

Maybe someone wants to fix the title to say NDA instead of DNA? hehe

This is great

Before you know it you'll have to sign 3 legal contracts before an offer and 10 more after, then when you quit cause you found a better job they'll sue you saying you aren't allowed to work anywhere else.

Typo in the headline: s/DNA/NDA/

You might still be within the edit window, I don’t remember how long it is
