Tip: Ensure losing bidders' terms remain protected even after deal closes elsewhere.A streamer acquires a studio's entire film library. The NDA covers total deal value, per-title valuations, and which titles are deemed "key" for marketing versus filler content.
Tip: Address how third-party audit rights interact with confidentiality obligations.A US streamer partners with international broadcasters on a global series. The NDA must address different data protection regimes, local content quotas, and cross-border information sharing restrictions.
Tip: Specify which jurisdiction's laws govern and ensure enforceability internationally.What to push back on when reviewing streaming platform NDAs
Platform NDAs often protect their information more strictly than yours. Push for mutual obligations that treat both parties' confidential information equally.
While platforms want perpetual protection for subscriber data, negotiate for time limits on deal term confidentiality. You may need to reference past deals in future negotiations.
Ensure explicit carve-outs for attorneys, agents, managers, accountants, and potential co-financiers who need deal terms for legitimate business purposes.
Some platform NDAs include hidden non-disparagement clauses. These should be mutual if included, and shouldn't prevent truthful statements about business practices.
If the platform breaches confidentiality (common in trade press), ensure you have clear termination rights and aren't locked into a one-way obligation.
