Sign an NDA you received
========================

What the recipient sees, what they fill in, and what happens after they sign.

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

Article 3 of 3

 If someone sent you an NDA through Send NDA, you got an email with a **View & sign NDA** button. That link is yours alone: the sender has a different one. You don't need an account, and signing takes a couple of minutes.

Add your details
----------------

The sender only gave us your name and email address. Before you can sign, the agreement needs your postal address: address line 1, city, postal code and country, plus line 2 and a state if they apply. Signing for a company? Add its name and registration number too.

Your details go into the party block at the top of the agreement. Once you continue, you see the full text with both parties in it.

Read it and sign
----------------

Read the agreement through. It shows who discloses, the purpose, the clauses the sender chose and the governing law. If something isn't what you discussed, ask the sender to change it before you sign: they can amend the NDA while neither of you has signed.

To sign, tick that you accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then choose **Sign NDA**. Your signature is your name as it appears in the agreement, set in a handwriting face. We record the time, your IP address, the link you used and the hash of the exact text you signed. [The signing record](https://sendnda.com/docs/evidence/the-signing-record) explains what that log holds.

The name on the agreement is the one the sender typed. If it's wrong, ask them to fix it before you sign.

After you sign
--------------

The sender gets an email that you've signed, and it's their turn to countersign. Your link keeps working in the meantime, so you can come back to it.

When the sender countersigns, the agreement is completed. We freeze it as a PDF and email that PDF to both of you. The same link then offers **Download PDF**.

Keep your copy
--------------

Keep the PDF from the email. Completed agreements and their signing record are kept for 10 years, and anyone can check a copy against the original on the [verify page](https://sendnda.com/verify). The [Privacy Policy](https://sendnda.com/legal/privacy) covers what we hold about you and why.

 Checked against the code on 21 September 2026.
