NNN Agreements are the Chinese equivalent to the western world’s Non-Disclosure Agreement(NDA). An effective NNN agreement is used to help protect your confidentiality when working with manufacturers directly in China. NNN agreements include non-disclosure, non-circumvention, and non-use clauses.
Learn what the NNN agreement clauses mean and how they compare to a Non Disclosure Agreement:
If a company you are considering to work with refuses to sign either an NDA or NNN agreement, that is a sign that they are not trustworthy and you shouldn’t pursue further business with them.
The clauses of an NDA can include the clauses of the NNN, but they don’t always include the same terms. Either way, you should carefully read any document thoroughly before signing it.
NNNs should be used when you are doing business directly with a Chinese company, they hold more legal authority and power in China. NDAs are perfect for when you are using sourcing companies or wholesalers that are based outside of China, but may have offices or partners in China they use to conduct their work.
NDAs are suitable because the sourcing companies that you work with should already have their own agreements and relationships established with reliable companies.
One option you should consider is to label all information you share with your contacts clearly with “Confidential”, so that there is no misunderstanding that everything you share should be protected and handled with care.
