NDA is a binding contract whereby one party warrants to the other not to disclose to third parties certain proprietary or confidential information of which it becomes aware, in any form.

This type of agreement is often signed when two companies or individuals plan to do business together and need to understand and know the other party’s business processes/information for the sole purpose of evaluating potential business relationships. Non-disclosure agreements can be bilateral (ie both parties are restricted in the use of the information received) or they can limit only one party.

The Letter of Intent (LOI) is a very useful and widespread document, both nationally and internationally, which mainly serves to regulate future negotiations between the parties, in view of a contract that the parties have started to negotiate, but have not yet concluded.

As such, the LOI is a non-binding agreement – except for certain elements such as confidentiality or exclusivity obligations – and therefore does not generally give rise to liability on the part of the parties.

However, it happens quite often that the letters of intent contain – without the parties being fully aware of it – binding obligations, which pertain to the content of the deal that the parties are about to conclude; in this case, the LOI is transformed into a real contract (definitive or preliminary), with consequent responsibilities in the event of non-fulfilment.
