Your strategy
stays yours.

Our standard mutual NDA (provided in PDF on request before kickoff) protects both parties’ Confidential Information, defined as any non-public information disclosed during the engagement, whether marked confidential or not — including but not limited to:

• Financial data, projections, and unit economics
• Customer lists, pipeline, and revenue figures
• Product roadmaps, technical architecture, and IP
• Cap table information, valuation, and fundraising status
• Marketing strategy, go-to-market plans, and competitive analysis
• Deck content, narrative structure, and visual assets in progress
• The existence of the engagement itself, where requested

• Term: Confidentiality obligations survive 5 years after engagement ends (perpetual for trade secrets).
• Scope: Mutual — both parties bind equally.
• Permitted disclosures: Only to Four Creative team members, contractors, and tools strictly required to deliver the work, each themselves bound to confidentiality.
• No portfolio use without written consent: Your project is not added to our portfolio, case studies, or testimonial pages without explicit written approval.
• Return / destruction on request: All confidential materials returned or destroyed within 30 days of written request.
• Governing law: State of Texas; venue Dallas County.

We’ll sign reasonable client-provided NDAs. Our legal counsel reviews any NDA exceeding standard terms (typically: indefinite duration, unlimited liability clauses, or non-compete provisions outside the engagement scope). Most reviews complete within 2 business days.

Send your draft to hello@fourcreative.studio with the subject “NDA Review — [Company Name]”.

Beyond the legal terms, we operate with practical safeguards on every engagement:

• Project files stored in access-controlled, client-isolated workspaces
• Two-factor authentication required for every team member with file access
• No subcontracting outside our vetted team without prior written client approval
• Communication on encrypted channels (Slack Connect, Signal, or your preferred secure tool)
• Final source files delivered through your preferred secure channel; we don’t retain unnecessary copies post-delivery

The studio operated privately for years before going public. Most of our work — including decks behind closed funding rounds, board strategies, and competitive enterprise pitches — remains under perpetual NDA. That operational discipline didn’t change when we opened publicly. If anything, it’s the part of the practice we’re most precise about.

Email hello@fourcreative.studio with the subject “NDA Request”. We’ll send the current version (PDF) within 1 business day. Counter-signed copy returned within 24 hours of your signature.

Or, if you’re ready to begin a project, start your project — the NDA is sent automatically with the engagement letter.
