Send your first NDA
===================

Fill in one form, confirm your email address, and both of you get a signing link.

Getting started
---------------

Article 2 of 3

 Sending an NDA takes one form and one email. You fill in the agreement, preview it, confirm your email address, and both of you get a link. The recipient only needs a name and an email address from you. They fill in their own details when they sign.

Fill in the form
----------------

The [form on the home page](https://sendnda.com#send) has three parts.

1. **Customise your NDA.** Who shares confidential information, an optional purpose, the use of AI tools, the extra clauses and how long it runs. [The agreement](https://sendnda.com/docs/the-agreement) explains each choice.
2. **You.** Your name, email address and postal address. Sign as a company and you add its name and registration number. Your country decides the [governing law](https://sendnda.com/docs/the-agreement/governing-law), and for the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom you also pick a state, province or part of the UK.
3. **Recipient.** Their full name and email address. That's all.

Tick that you've read the Terms of Service, then choose **Preview NDA**.

Preview and send
----------------

The preview shows the full agreement as it will read, with your details in it. If something's off, close it and change the form. When it reads right, choose **Send NDA**.

You can send five times a minute from one email address and IP address. After that the form asks you to wait a minute.

Confirm your email
------------------

Unless you're signed in with the same address, we don't send anything yet. You get an email titled *Confirm your email to send your NDA*. Its link is valid for 15 minutes. Open it and you're signed in, the NDA is sent, and you land on your dashboard.

This step stops anyone from sending an NDA in your name. A draft nobody confirms is deleted after 7 days.

Signed in already, with the email address on the form? Then the NDA goes out straight away.

What happens next
-----------------

Two emails go out at once. The recipient gets *View & sign NDA* with their own link. You get a confirmation with your own link, where you can follow the status: Sent, Viewed, Awaiting your signature and Completed.

1. The recipient opens the link, adds their address and signs.
2. You get an email that it's your turn, and you countersign from your link.
3. Both of you get the sealed PDF by email.

An NDA nobody finishes is deleted 90 days after it was sent. [Sign an NDA you received](https://sendnda.com/docs/getting-started/sign-an-nda) shows the other side of the same flow.
