Mga blangko ng NDA na pinunan mula sa deal sheet, pagkatapos ay inilipat sa batas ng Hong Kong
Isang abugadong kumakatawan sa isang spin-out ng unibersidad ang tumanggap ng karaniwang non-disclosure agreement ng unibersidad bilang Word file, kasama ang deal sheet ng law firm sa tabi nito. Hiniling nila sa na punan ang bawat patlang mula sa deal sheet at gumawa ng apat na pagbabago sa komersyo para sa kliyente, nang walang ibang binabago.
Pinunan ng ang mga partido, petsa, proyekto, talahanayan ng mga abiso, mga opisyal sa eskalasyon at bloke ng lagda, pinaikli ang panahon ng pagiging kumpidensyal, pinalawak kung sino ang maaaring makakita ng impormasyon at pinutol ang oras ng pagtugon sa FOI, lahat sa iisang file. Pagkatapos ay humingi ang partner ng batas ng Hong Kong at arbitrasyon ng HKIAC, at muling isinulat ng ang sugnay ng batas na namamahala at inihanay ang sugnay sa eskalasyon.

Kung saan nagmula ang file: Lambert Toolkit, Opisina ng Intelektwal na Ari-arian ng UK. Naglalaman ng impormasyon ng pampublikong sektor na lisensyado sa ilalim ng Open Government Licence v3.0. Ang deal sheet, ang unibersidad, ang kompanya at ang bawat taong pinangalanan dito ay kathang-isip at ginawa para sa pagsubok na ito.
01 · ANG MGA PANIMULANG FILE
Isang 7-pahinang template ng NDA at 2-pahinang deal sheet
Ang NDA ay ang halimbawang kasunduan sa pagiging kumpidensyal mula sa Lambert Toolkit ng pamahalaan ng UK para sa pakikipagtulungan ng unibersidad at negosyo: isang pahina ng pabalat, limang awtomatikong binilang na sugnay, isang talahanayan ng mga kahulugan, isang talahanayan ng mga abiso at isang bloke ng lagda. Puno ito ng mga patlang sa mga parisukat na panaklong at mga alternatibong pananalita na mapagpipilian, at nagbubukas ito sa isang paunawa sa pagbalangkas at isang banner na nagsasabing hindi pa ito naaprubahan.
Inilalathala ng toolkit ang kasunduan bilang isang lumang .doc file; nai-save namin ito bilang .docx sa LibreOffice bago ito i-upload. Ang deal sheet ay isang Word file ng dalawang-kolum na talahanayan, tulad ng pag-iingat ng isang kumpanya.

- Pinunan ang mga patlang mula sa deal sheet: ang petsa (12 Oktubre 2026, sa pabalat at sa kasunduan), ang dalawang partido kasama ang numero ng kompanya at rehistradong opisina, ang proyekto, ang dalawang kinatawan para sa mga abiso kasama ang kanilang mga address, ang dalawang opisyal sa eskalasyon, at ang dalawang lumagda. Ang "Fax number" ay naging "Email", kasama ang email address ng bawat panig.

- Sugnay 2.4: ang oras ng pagtugon ng Kompanya sa FOI ay 5 Araw ng Negosyo na ngayon sa halip na 10 araw, gamit ang tinukoy na termino.
- Tinanggal ang paunawa sa pagbalangkas at ang banner na "NOT APPROVED", at hindi ginalaw ang sugnay ng batas na namamahala.

Kung saan susuriing mabuti ng isang abugado: dalawang pagpipilian sa template ang ginawa nang hindi hinihiling. Ang sugnay 4.1 ay pinanatili ang "This Agreement" sa halip na "Subject to clause 2.1, this Agreement", at ang "[England]" sa kahulugan ng Araw ng Negosyo ay naging "England and Wales", kung saan nakarehistro ang kompanya. Ang isang opsyon ay nasa loob pa rin ng mga panaklong: "[and identified as confidential before or at the time of disclosure]" sa kahulugan ng Kumpidensyal na Impormasyon.
03 · KAHILINGAN 2
Nais ng partner ang batas ng Hong Kong
Ang tinipa ng abugado
Partner wants HK law (Halcyon's parent is now in HK). On the same marked-up version, in Track Changes: 1. Clause 5.9: Hong Kong law, HKIAC arbitration seated in Hong Kong; keep the injunction carve-out. 2. Business Day definition: Hong Kong public holidays instead of [England]. 3. Clause 5.10 still says "bring proceedings". Conform it to arbitration, or leave a Word comment for me. Keep all my earlier tracked changes; don't accept them.
Ang ginawa ng
- Patuloy na nagtrabaho sa Word file na naihatid nito para sa kahilingan 1, kaya naroon pa rin ang bawat naunang pagbabago.
- Sugnay 5.9: ang kasunduan ay pinamamahalaan na ngayon ng mga batas ng Hong Kong, at ang mga alitan ay nilulutas sa pamamagitan ng arbitrasyon ng HKIAC sa ilalim ng Administered Arbitration Rules, na nakabase sa Hong Kong, isang arbitrator, sa wikang Ingles. Nananatili ang pagbubukod para sa injunction bilang pansamantalang lunas o utos ng injunction mula sa anumang karampatang korte.
- Araw ng Negosyo: mga pista opisyal sa Hong Kong. Tinanggal din nito ang "bank or" mula sa kahulugan.
- Sugnay 5.10: ang "bring proceedings" ay naging "commence arbitration proceedings in accordance with clause 5.9", at ang pananalita ng injunction ay tumutugma sa 5.9. Ang cross-reference ay tumutukoy pa rin sa tamang sugnay.
- Hindi ginalaw ang sariling paglalarawan ng kompanya: rehistrado pa rin ito sa Inglatera at Wales.
Muli, direktang pumasok ang mga pagbabago sa file. Nasa ibaba ang ulat ng track-changes sa mga file ng kahilingan 1 at kahilingan 2, na nagpapakita lamang kung ano ang binago ng kahilingang ito.
