1️⃣ Expectations of an NDA

We sign strict non-disclosure agreements with our clients.

These agreements are a legally binding promise that employees of Obvious will not share anything about the client. This includes but is not limited to:

• Name of the company

• Details of the project we are working on

  • Name of the project

  • Standard operating procedures

  • Problem statement

  • Designs, concepts, plans, proposals, assets, and any documentation

  • Business goals

  • Project costs and budgets

  • Outcomes of the project

• Metrics and statistics about current or past projects

• Any projects we hear about during the course of our client-consultancy relationship, even if we are not directly involved with that project

• Any discussions held before, during or after the project

If someone discloses anything about a client and/ or our work with them, it’s considered a breach of contact.

2️⃣ Consequences of breaching an NDA

Here is what will happen if there is a breach of contract:

• Immediate termination from Obvious, with the cause for termination i.e. NDA violation clearly documented on your record. This will affect background checks when applying for future roles at other companies.

  • Note: The termination cause is kept confidential in normal exit scenarios. This is not a normal exit scenario.

• Notification to the client about the breach of contract, including details of the person and the immediate action taken.
