NDA & Confidentiality
Non-Disclosure Agreement
Your designs, molds, and specs stay yours. We sign NDAs on every OEM / ODM project before any confidential file changes hands.
Why We Sign NDAs
When you share a new product with us, you are sharing the value you've built. A signed NDA is how we prove we understand that — before you send a single file.
Product Designs
Concept sketches, CAD files, renderings, and prototypes you send for quoting or sampling.
Molds & Tooling
Mold drawings, tooling specs, and any custom equipment built for your project.
Materials & Process
Steel grades, heat treatment parameters, coating formulas, and production methods.
Pricing & Terms
Quotes, cost breakdowns, MOQs, and commercial terms unique to your business.
Customer & Market Data
Your customer lists, target markets, launch plans, and marketing strategies.
Anything Marked Confidential
Any information you mark as confidential — even if it is not listed above.
What a Signed NDA Means From Our Side
These are the commitments we make in writing, on every project:
Use for Your Project Only
Confidential information is used solely to evaluate, quote, and manufacture your products. Never for any other purpose.
Need-to-Know Access
Access is limited to the engineers and staff who must work on your project. No sharing with outside parties.
No Third-Party Disclosure
We do not disclose your designs, specs, or commercial terms to any third party without your written consent.
No Copy for Others
Your designs are not reused, adapted, or offered to other customers — including after the project ends.
Return or Destroy on Request
When the project ends (or you ask), we return or destroy all confidential materials and confirm it in writing.
Your IP Stays Yours
No intellectual property rights are transferred. Everything you own stays yours, protected by the agreement.
How to Get an NDA Signed
Four steps, usually completed within one business day.

We Send Our Template
You receive our standard mutual NDA in PDF (English / Chinese versions available).

Share Your Files
Once signed, send designs and specs. Your project starts with full confidentiality.
NDA Questions We Get Asked
Do I have to sign your NDA template?
No. If your company has a standard NDA, send it over and we'll review and sign yours. Most clients simply use ours because it is mutual and balanced.
How long does it take?
Our own template is signed within one business day. If you send your company's template, allow one to three days for review on our side.
Is the NDA mutual (both ways)?
Yes. We protect your confidential information, and you protect ours. Both sides carry the same obligations.
How long does the agreement last?
Our standard term covers the discussion and cooperation period plus typically 3–5 years after it ends. Trade-secret level information (like mold designs) stays protected while it remains confidential.
Do certifications and compliance documents need an NDA too?
Yes. Certificates, mill test reports, and compliance declarations are provided under NDA on request — as stated on our certifications page.
Can we use our own electronic signature tool?
Absolutely. We accept DocuSign, Adobe Sign, or a simple scanned signed copy — whatever your legal team prefers.
