AI NDA Review — Understand Your Non-Disclosure Agreement in Minutes
Paste your NDA and receive an instant, clause-by-clause risk report in plain English. No account needed for your first analysis.
An NDA review is the process of identifying the obligations, restrictions, and risk clauses in a non-disclosure agreement before signing. VP Arbiter's AI reads your NDA and flags unusual exclusions, one-sided confidentiality scope, missing carve-outs, and unenforceable clauses in plain English — typically in under sixty seconds.
What Arbiter Looks for in an NDA
Definition of Confidential Information
Overly broad definitions can expose you to liability for information you had no reason to treat as secret.
Duration of Obligations
Perpetual NDAs may be unenforceable in some UK courts. Reasonable limits are typically 2–5 years.
Carve-outs for Public Information
Legitimate NDAs exclude information already in the public domain, received from third parties, or independently developed.
Mutual vs. One-Sided Obligations
A unilateral NDA places all obligations on one party — standard in some contexts, risky in others.
Return or Destruction of Information
Obligations to return or certify destruction of confidential material after the relationship ends.
Remedies and Injunctive Relief
Disproportionate or pre-agreed injunction clauses can be used aggressively by the disclosing party.
Common NDA Red Flags
- 01
Confidential information defined to include "all information" with no limitations — creates unlimited, unmanageable obligations.
- 02
No carve-out for information independently developed or received from a third party before the NDA was signed.
- 03
Perpetual or indefinite confidentiality period — courts often find these unreasonable for general commercial information.
- 04
Jurisdiction clause in a foreign or unfamiliar territory, adding litigation risk and cost.
- 05
Pre-agreed injunction wording that allows the other party to obtain an injunction without proving harm.
- 06
One-sided obligation where only you are bound, with no reciprocal confidentiality from the disclosing party.
- 07
Assignment clause allowing the other party to transfer the NDA — and your obligations — to any third party without consent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI really review an NDA?
Yes. AI can identify common risk patterns in NDAs — unusual confidentiality scope, missing carve-outs for public domain information, one-sided obligations, and unrealistic duration clauses. VP Arbiter provides a structured risk report flagging these issues in plain English.
What does VP Arbiter look for in an NDA?
VP Arbiter checks the definition of confidential information, duration of obligations, carve-outs for public knowledge, return or destruction of information clauses, governing law, remedies for breach, and whether obligations are mutual or one-sided.
Is the NDA review free?
VP Arbiter offers one free analysis per 30 days with no account required. Unlimited NDA reviews are available on a personal subscription from £9/month.
Does VP Arbiter store my NDA text?
Contract text is processed to generate your report and cached for 7 days to support shareable result links, then deleted. It is not used to train AI models. For firms with strict data sovereignty requirements, VP Arbiter is also available as a self-hosted deployment — contact us for pricing.
Should I still use a solicitor after an AI NDA review?
For high-value or high-stakes NDAs — for example those involving trade secrets, significant IP, or investment transactions — you should engage a qualified solicitor. VP Arbiter is designed for first-pass screening, not as a replacement for legal advice.
