Is this NDA contract even legal

[Martin David]

Hi!

I've got this NDA to sign, but it doesn't make sense at all.
Could you tell if such an NDA is at all applicable?

Thanks,
Martin

We can't based on what you have posted or more importantly what you haven't. Like any details what so ever.

Contract review is outside the scope of an internet forum and really moves into the realm of practicing law. You should bring the NDA to a local attorney for review.

Non-disclosure agreements (or confidentiality agreements) are legally binding contracts, recognized worldwide.

If the terms of the contract are breached and confidential information is disclosed without authorization, the business whose interests have been compromised can obtain an injunction and file a trade secret lawsuit, recovering damages that include actual damages, punitive damages and/or treble damages.

Trade secrets can include any information that one business uses to gain a competitive edge over other businesses. See the Uniform Trade Secret Act section 1, Definitions.

If you wish to know if the terms of the NDA you have been asked to sign will be upheld in court, you need to have an attorney licensed to practice in your own jurisdiction personally review and analyze it.

I cannot access the link you posted (others might be able to) but it should be removed from your post. It cannot be analyzed by any of us on this forum.
