Canadian business owners, if you are in discussions with a competitor who is investigating your business with respect to a potential acquisition or joint venture, you will probably need to provide certain confidential information as part of the due diligence review.

Protect your company's sensitive confidential and proprietary information by having the competitor sign this Confidentiality Agreement prior to releasing any such information. The Agreement also includes a no solicitation clause, under which the competitor agrees not to solicit either your customers or employees.

This Canada Confidentiality Agreement for Competitor is provided in MS Word format, and is easy to download and use.
