Non-Disclosure Agreement

This may be a long shot, but would any of my learned friends out there; have a sample NDA for the use on a domain sale.

I am hoping to have any potential buyer agree to some T&Cs prior to any negotiations. While I understand that this will not negate a possible TM holders right to pursue, I expect that it will however offer us some sort of ammunition in the Event of a UDRP.

I have with little luck been able to locate a reputable DN IP Lawyer this side of the atlantic.

Any help, advice or flames will be respected. :whistle:

Paul Keating who is a DNF member is considered an excellent TM lawyer.
He is located in Barcelona.

Here is the write up about him for Roundtable.

Not strictly NDA but maybe this sample contract can help you:
http://contracts.corporate.findlaw.com/agreements/mortgage/domain.html

It has a brief section on confidentiality terms. I believe the wording could be adapted to fit your needs.
If you fear a possible TM problem it costs nothing to add a disclaimer like:
"Seller makes no representations as to whether or not the domain names offered infringe or violate any trademark or intellectual property rights. It is up to the buyer to research any intellectual property claim or trademark dispute proceeding on a particular domain name".
