## Reminder guidance for this contract type

### An NDA term and its confidentiality period are not the same date

The most common NDA mistake is assuming the agreement is over when the term ends. The term governs how long parties keep exchanging confidential information. The survival clause governs how long that information stays protected, frequently two, three, or five years after the term, and sometimes indefinitely for trade secrets. Teams that treat the term-end date as the expiry date can disclose or reuse information that is still legally protected. A useful NDA reminder tracks both dates separately: when the relationship's disclosure period ends, and when the confidentiality obligation finally lifts.

### The return-or-destroy step everyone forgets

Most NDAs include an obligation to return or destroy confidential materials within a set window after termination. It is the single most-ignored clause in the agreement, because nothing prompts it, the term simply ends and everyone moves on. But the obligation is real, and in a dispute, failing to certify destruction is evidence of sloppy handling. A reminder tied to the term-end date that triggers the return-or-destroy step, with an owner assigned, turns a forgotten clause into a routine close-out task.

## Quick answers

Short answers to the questions we get most about reminder extraction.

- **Q:** How does the NDA expiration reminder work?
  **A:** Upload your NDA as a PDF or DOCX. We run an AI extraction on the document, find the term length and expiration date, the confidentiality survival period, and the return-or-destroy obligations, and suggest reminder dates for each. You can then start a free Contracko trial to track everything automatically, or just note the dates yourself.

- **Q:** Does it understand the difference between term and survival?
  **A:** Yes, and that distinction is the whole point. An NDA term often ends years before the confidentiality obligations do, a three-year survival clause means information stays protected long after disclosures stop. The tool surfaces both the term end and the survival end so you do not mistakenly treat protected information as fair game.

- **Q:** What happens after the extraction?
  **A:** You'll see a list of suggested reminders pulled from your NDA, each anchored to the clause it came from. From there you can start a free Contracko trial to track them automatically with email alerts and owner assignments, or just note the dates yourself if that's all you need.

- **Q:** Can it help across a stack of NDAs?
  **A:** The free tool reads one NDA at a time. Teams that sign NDAs constantly (for diligence, partnerships, vendor talks) use a Contracko trial to keep every term end, survival date, and return obligation in one tracked place instead of a folder no one revisits.

- **Q:** What happens to my contract after I upload it?
  **A:** Your NDA is transmitted over TLS encryption and processed by AI providers under terms that exclude training on your data. If you start a Contracko trial, the file moves into your private workspace and stays there.
