Sorry if i come out harsh,
but CryptoFreak33, you said you are a business owner yourself, now how would you feel if you would get a good idea, write it down and then let it loose with no control over it?
I completely agree with you, Armodar. But, as a business owner, I know how easy it is for two people to come up with the
exact same idea near the same time. Ideas are like that. I've seen a lot of friends sign NDA's and get sued because a company claimed they showed them the same thing they had been working on previous to the meeting. NDA's are risky.
As a business owner, I would always demand one. As a partner, I'd probably fight like hell never to sign one.
It is nothing personal, just protecting myself from people I don't know or trust...
Completely understood.
Just yesterday I learned my lesson not to trust people I don't know well, so - sadly, the NDA is mandatory.
But you can relax, the NDA only has to do with my idea, businessplan, sketches and so on and it is not a full fledged Industry ban, meaning you can work, develop and deploy solutions that would come in direct competition with this plan - you are just not allowed to integrate any proprietary ideas or solutions.
Ah, well that is a different story then. I could live with that.
Again, sorry to make it so serious - but I don't know who will I deal with.
No need to apologize. You
should make it serious; it's your business we're talking about! If you make a bad decision and trust someone you shouldn't
you bear the brunt of that. So definitely no need to explain or apologize.
I will be in touch :-)
