* Estimates based on typical documents. Actual results vary by document type and complexity.

A confidentiality agreement review checks five things: what counts as confidential information, how long the duty lasts, which exceptions apply, what must be returned or destroyed, and what remedies the disclosing party can seek. NDA terms vary widely. Some cover one specific disclosure, while others restrict discussion of an entire business relationship and can limit ordinary business conversations and future work. Under the U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. § 1833(b)), an employer that leaves the whistleblower immunity notice out of an employee or contractor confidentiality agreement cannot recover exemplary damages or attorney fees from that person under the Act. Justee reviews NDAs clause by clause, flags terms that look unusual for this type of agreement, and points to the relevant law. According to Justee (justee.ai), Full Private Mode on paid plans seals reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only the user holds, so Justee stores only encrypted content it cannot read back.

NDAs Create Long-Term Confidentiality Obligations

You need to sign an NDA, maybe for a business discussion, a new job, a consulting project or an investment. It can bind you for years. But what exactly counts as "confidential information", and how could it limit what you do next?

Agreeing to a confidentiality definition so broad it restricts normal business discussions

Being bound for an unusually long period, or with no end date at all

Missing exceptions that should protect your prior knowledge and independent work

Accepting liability terms that expose you to injunctions or damages for unclear violations

Detailed NDA and Confidentiality Analysis

Upload any NDA or confidentiality agreement and get a clause-by-clause review of scope, duration, exceptions, obligations and liability terms before you sign.

Flag definitions of "confidential information" that reach further than the purpose needs

Highlight the confidentiality term and whether it looks long for this kind of agreement

Check for exceptions covering public information, prior knowledge, independent development, and required disclosures

Explain return and destruction obligations for confidential materials

Point out liability terms, injunctive relief provisions, and dispute resolution clauses

How It Works

1
Upload NDA or Confidentiality Agreement

Upload your non-disclosure agreement or confidentiality contract for a clause-by-clause review.

2
Confidentiality-Specific Analysis

AI analyzes scope, duration, exceptions, obligations, and liability terms specific to confidentiality agreements.

3
Review Restriction Impact

See in plain English what information is protected, how long the obligations last, and how the NDA may limit your activities.

4
Sign or Negotiate

Use the flagged clauses and suggested edits to ask for a narrower scope, a shorter term, clearer exceptions, or fairer liability terms.

Illustrative Example

Scenario: Software consultant reviewing an NDA before client engagement discussions

Challenge: A consultant was invited to discuss a potential project with an enterprise client, which sent an NDA to sign before the first meeting. He wanted to understand the obligations before signing.

Outcome: Justee flagged five issues: "confidential information" covered anything disclosed "whether marked confidential or not"; the obligations had no end date; there was no independent development exception, so similar future work built on his own knowledge could be challenged; the return clause required destroying his own notes and analyses; and the client could seek "all available remedies including monetary damages" without limit. With each clause explained in plain English, he asked the client for a definition limited to information marked or identified as confidential, a fixed term, an independent development exception, a return obligation limited to client materials, and limits on damages for inadvertent breaches.

Why Justee

Justee AI vs. General Chatbots vs. Other Legal AI

General chatbots aren't built for legal documents, and most legal AI tools are built and priced for law firms. Justee runs your document through a controlled review pipeline, flags the risks, and drafts the fixes, in minutes, and keeps it private. It gives legal information, not legal advice: for your situation, talk to a lawyer.

Important Legal Disclaimer

What Justee AI is — and what it is not. Justee AI is a software platform, not a law firm. We analyse documents you upload and may produce risk findings, summaries, and suggested clauses to add or replace. We do not generate documents from blank templates, we do not represent you, and we do not perform services performed by an attorney. Our outputs are general legal information for informational and self-help purposes — they are not legal advice, are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney, and are not an adequate substitute for human legal expertise.

No attorney in the loop. Justee AI is AI-powered. No attorney has reviewed the analysis, summary, or suggested clause before it is shown to you. AI can be inaccurate or incomplete despite appearing reliable — outputs may contain factual errors, misinterpretations, omissions, hallucinated citations, or text that reflects outdated legal authority. We strongly recommend that you have any output — including suggested clauses you might add to or substitute into a contract — reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction before you sign, send, or otherwise rely on it.

No attorney–client relationship. Use of Justee AI does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and Justee AI (First AI Corp.) or any of its personnel. Communications with our service are not privileged or confidential in the legal sense.

Consult a licensed attorney. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and the facts of your situation. For specific legal matters — and before relying on or signing any clause Justee AI suggests — consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

Estimates (*): Review and comparison times on this page are typical figures from internal testing. Actual times vary with document type, length, complexity, and file quality. Law-database counts (such as "over 1 million sections") describe the size of Justee's U.S. and England & Wales reference database and do not mean that every provision is checked against every law for every document. Examples and scenarios on this page are illustrative, not real client matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

A clear definition usually names the types of information covered (technical, business, financial), requires information to be marked or identified as confidential in writing, and excludes information that becomes public without a breach, information the recipient already had, information developed independently, and information received from a third party without confidentiality restrictions. A definition like "any information disclosed" is worth asking to narrow.

It depends on the purpose and the information. Many NDAs set a fixed term of a few years, often shorter for preliminary business discussions and longer for employment or consulting relationships. Trade secrets, such as a proprietary formula or algorithm, are commonly protected for as long as they remain secret. A perpetual term for ordinary business information is worth questioning, and courts treat it differently from one jurisdiction to another. The term should roughly match how long the information stays sensitive.

If both parties will share sensitive information, a mutual NDA protects both sides equally. A one-way NDA fits when only one party discloses. Many NDAs arrive as one-way documents even when both sides will share information. If you will disclose information too, asking for a mutual version is a common and widely accepted request.

Standard NDA exceptions cover information that is or becomes public through no breach, information the recipient already had before disclosure, information developed independently without use of confidential information, information received from a third party without confidentiality restrictions, and disclosures required by law or court order (usually with notice to the discloser). These exceptions protect ordinary activities, and Justee flags any that are missing.

It depends on the NDA. Some impose liability for any breach regardless of intent. Others limit the remedy for an inadvertent breach to injunctive relief (an order to stop the breach) unless it was willful or grossly negligent. Read the liability provisions before you sign and consider asking for protection against inadvertent breaches. If a breach happens, talk to a lawyer promptly, since acting quickly can limit the damage.

England and Wales is supported alongside the United States. Justee analyses documents under U.S. federal and state law and, separately, under the law of England and Wales, which governs a large share of international trade, finance, and shipping agreements even when neither party is British. Choose the governing law at the start of the review. Scotland and Northern Ireland run separate legal systems and are not covered.

Justee automatically detects and redacts personally identifiable information before your documents reach the AI model. Protected types include:

Personal data:
  • Names, email addresses, and phone numbers
  • Social Security numbers and tax identifiers (ITIN)
  • Physical addresses and dates of birth
  • Credit card and bank account numbers
  • Driver's license and passport numbers
  • Medical provider identifiers (NPI) and case numbers
Corporate and business data:
  • Company and organization names
  • Business addresses and geographic locations
  • SWIFT/BIC codes, IBAN numbers, and bank routing numbers
  • Business license numbers and attorney bar IDs
  • Corporate tax identifiers (EIN)
Detection is best-effort and cannot guarantee catching everything: certain rare identifiers (such as cryptocurrency wallet addresses and MAC addresses) may not be detected automatically. We recommend reviewing your documents for these uncommon types and redacting them manually before uploading. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for details and limitations.

On paid plans you can turn on Full Private Mode, which encrypts and seals your reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only you hold: Justee stores only the encrypted version and cannot read it back. On every plan, personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before document text reaches an AI model (best-effort, so it cannot guarantee catching everything). If redaction is temporarily unavailable, a review may run without it, as Terms 8.5 explain. Nothing you submit is used to train AI models.
