Free NCNDA Template (Non-Circumvention, Non-Disclosure)
An ICC-style Non-Circumvention Non-Disclosure Agreement used to protect the deal chain, information and every named counterparty across a physical commodity transaction.
The NCNDA is the format standard between intermediaries, mandates and principals. It combines classical non-disclosure with an explicit non-circumvention undertaking: parties will not, directly or indirectly, contact, negotiate with or transact with any Introduced Party without written consent.
The Introduced Parties schedule (Schedule A) lists every named counterparty, mandate and intermediary the agreement protects. Standard duration is five years from signature, extending automatically upon any transaction with an Introduced Party.
The Word draft is fully editable; the PDF is a print-ready sample. Consider the NCNDA + IMFPA combined template if commissions are also being locked in.
