NDA Policy

1. Our Commitment

At PM Technology, we understand that your ideas, code, and business strategy are your competitive advantage. We take confidentiality seriously — not as a formality, but as a core principle. Every client engagement begins with a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to ensure your information is protected before any substantive discussion takes place.

2. When We Sign NDAs

We sign NDAs at the following stages:

• Before Discovery Calls: If you plan to share project details, technical architecture, or sensitive business information during the call, we sign an NDA beforehand.
• Before Project Scoping: Any engagement that involves sharing codebases, database schemas, API credentials, or proprietary business logic is covered by an NDA before we begin.
• Before Team Onboarding: For dedicated engineering retainers, every team member assigned to your project signs an individual NDA in addition to the company-level agreement.

3. What the NDA Covers

• Product ideas, feature roadmaps, and business strategies disclosed during discussions.
• Source code, database schemas, API keys, infrastructure configurations, and deployment credentials shared during project work.
• Financial information, client data, and user analytics accessed during the engagement.
• Internal documentation, wireframes, design files, and technical specifications.
• Any other information explicitly marked as confidential by either party.

4. NDA Type and Structure

We use mutual NDAs by default — meaning both parties are equally bound to protect each other’s confidential information. If you have your own NDA template, we are happy to review and sign it. If not, we provide our standard mutual NDA which has been reviewed by legal counsel and covers all standard confidentiality scenarios.

5. Duration

Our standard NDA term is 3 years from the date of signing, covering the period of active engagement plus a reasonable protection window after the engagement ends. For engagements involving particularly sensitive information, we accommodate longer durations (5+ years) upon request.

6. Breach and Consequences

In the event of a breach of the NDA by PM Technology or any of our team members:

• The breaching party shall be liable for all direct damages and costs incurred by the injured party as a result of the breach.
• The injured party is entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent further disclosure.
• The breaching party shall bear all legal costs associated with enforcement.
• Internally, any team member who breaches an NDA will face immediate termination and potential legal action.

7. Exclusions

Standard exclusions apply — the following are not considered confidential information under the NDA:

• Information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party.
• Information already known to the receiving party before disclosure.
• Information independently developed by the receiving party without use of confidential information.
• Information required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order (with advance notice where legally possible).

8. How to Request an NDA

Simply mention it when you reach out. We can have a signed NDA in place within 24 hours — often before your first discovery call. Email us at contact@pmtechnology.in or mention it during your discovery call booking.
