Contractor NDA — Nova Scotia

Clause 3: Confidential Information

The Receiving Party shall hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not disclose...

"It was just a freelance gig."
(Then they started competing.)

Hiring contractors in Nova Scotia means handing over access to your systems, your processes, and your proprietary methods. Without a signed NDA, that knowledge walks out the door the moment the contract ends.

A freelance developer gets full access to your codebase — then builds a competing product. A marketing consultant studies your entire strategy — then takes it to your competitor. A contractor learns your proprietary process inside and out — then replicates it for themselves. Without a signed NDA, you have no legal recourse.

Contractors are not employees. They have no implied duty of loyalty, no fiduciary obligation, and no automatic confidentiality. If you don't put it in writing before the engagement starts, everything you share is fair game.

The "No-NDA" Contractor Scenario

You share proprietary methods with a contractor
The contract ends and they start their own business
They're now offering your service to your clients
No NDA = no injunction, no damages, no case ($$$)

Protecting your business shouldn't be complicated.

Paying a lawyer their hourly rate to draft a standard NDA isn't necessary. We've simplified the whole process.
