What Happens When an NDA is Broken

If the terms of an NDA are broken, the party responsible may be held liable for damages incurred by the injured party. Because NDAs are civil contracts, breaking them isn’t a crime. However, they can be enforced by suing the perpetrator for financial damages and legal costs.

Trade Secrets – Unlike other confidential information, trade secrets are protected under the law, and sharing or misusing them may be classified as a crime.
