Maryland Non-Disclosure Agreement Template
Last updated February 10th, 2026
A Maryland non-disclosure agreement is a contract in which the parties agree to keep certain information confidential. The form is often used by employers when sharing information with employees to prevent leaks to outside parties. Once signed, NDAs remain in effect until terminated by one or both parties, or until the protected information becomes publicly available.
Breach of NDA
Individuals may be taken to court if they breach their NDA obligations. By law, parties in Maryland have up to three years from the date that a breach is discovered to begin legal proceedings.[1]
