Crafting a Non-Disclosure Agreement with Contractors: What Key Details Should You Include?

Creating a Non-Disclosure Agreement with a Contractor

What should the data points be when creating a non-disclosure agreement with a contractor for intellectual property rights (company and a contractor)? Please help. Thank you in advance.

Nature of Industry and Employee Roles

What is the nature of your industry? In what way is the work of contract employees different from that of regular employees? If contract employees are going to have exposure to sensitive information, why are they kept in the contractor's role?

Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) Considerations

Whether for regular employees or contract employees, the contents of the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) do not change. Therefore, treat contract employees on par with regular employees.

Thanks,

I'm interested in the gaming industry. We want to create a game and own all of the intellectual property rights. The game's story will be written by an individual external to our company. We will acknowledge him/her for the story, but the ownership will belong to us. What are the terms of such an agreement?
