PRO❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a bilingual Spanish-English NDA?
A bilingual NDA ensures both parties fully understand confidentiality terms in their native language. This is essential for cross-border business with Latin America and Spain, reducing disputes and ensuring enforceability in both jurisdictions. Courts look more favorably on agreements where both parties clearly understood the terms.
Is a dual-language NDA legally binding in both countries?
Yes, dual-language NDAs are legally binding when properly drafted. The agreement should specify which language version controls in case of conflict (typically English for US-based agreements). Our generators include a "Prevailing Language" clause (Clausula de Idioma Predominante) that addresses this.
What countries can I use these Spanish-English NDAs with?
These bilingual NDAs work for business relationships with all Spanish-speaking countries including Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, and all Central American nations. Our generators let you select the appropriate governing law for your specific situation.
What is the difference between mutual and one-way NDAs?
A mutual NDA (Acuerdo de Confidencialidad Mutuo) protects both parties' information equally - ideal for partnerships and joint ventures. A one-way NDA (Acuerdo de Confidencialidad Unilateral) only protects the disclosing party - common for employee and contractor agreements where only one party shares sensitive information.
Do I need different NDAs for Spain vs Latin America?
While core legal concepts are similar, there are terminology differences between Spanish from Spain and Latin American Spanish. Spain uses more formal terms like "sociedad anonima" while Latin America may use "empresa." Our generators account for regional variations and include both options where relevant.
Should both language versions say exactly the same thing?
The translations should be equivalent in legal meaning, though exact word-for-word translation isn't always possible due to legal terminology differences between jurisdictions. Our generators use professional legal translations that ensure concepts are properly conveyed in both languages.
