Non-Disclosure Agreement
What is an NDA?
A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) — also known as a Confidentiality Agreement — is a legally binding contract under the Contract Act 1872 (Bangladesh) that establishes a confidential relationship between two or more parties. It prevents the receiving party from disclosing proprietary information shared during business discussions, manufacturing collaborations, or supply chain partnerships.
In the Bangladesh Ready-Made Garment (RMG) industry, NDAs are a standard practice endorsed by BGMEA (Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association) and BKMEA (Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association) to protect intellectual property across global supply chains.
