NDA

abbreviation or noun

ˌen-ˌdē-ˈā 

plural NDAs

: an agreement in which a person (such as an employee) agrees to keep information (such as a trade secret) confidential : nondisclosure agreement

Though there is always some appeal to using a mutual form of NDA, I really shy away from the mutual form if I'm not planning to receive confidential information from the other side.
