A Virtual Assistant usually reaches for a NDA when before sharing sensitive plans, files or credentials with a client or collaborator. This free template does one job well: it keeps shared information confidential before or during a working relationship. It is written for how virtual assistants actually work — around ongoing inbox, scheduling and admin support billed by the month, the familiar headache of hours creeping past the agreed monthly block without approval, and getting paid on a monthly fee paid in advance for a block of hours. Use a NDA rather than something looser, because as a substitute for a full service agreement — an NDA only covers confidentiality. Edit any line to fit your rates and terms, then send it for e-signature in a couple of minutes — no account for your client, and it is legally binding under the ESIGN Act and eIDAS.

An NDA with no duration is hard to enforce. Set how many years the confidentiality survives after the Virtual Assistant work ends.
Tie confidential information to what really matters for virtual assistants — confidentiality of the client's accounts, data and login credentials. Over-broad NDAs get ignored by courts.
Keep the exclusions for public and legally required information, or the NDA overreaches and fails.
Before sharing anything sensitive — for virtual assistants, that is usually material touching confidentiality of the client's accounts, data and login credentials.
No. An NDA only covers confidentiality; pair it with a service agreement that covers the actual completed administrative tasks within agreed turnaround times.
Yes. Once you and your client sign it — including with an electronic signature — this NDA is a binding contract under the ESIGN Act, eIDAS and similar laws in most countries.
Point them back to the scope. Extra work such as ad-hoc tasks outside the agreed task list added mid-month is quoted separately — that is exactly what the written terms are for.
Yes. Paste it into Signr, drop the signature fields on, and send a link. Your client signs from any device with no account, and you both get a sealed, court-ready copy.
