Mutual NDA
Mutual non-disclosure agreement
Last updated: October 2026
This agreement is between you (the client, acting for yourself or your firm) and MISH MISH. You accept it at the start of a request, before any case material is shared, and it covers everything you share with us and everything we share with you about your project. Prefer your own NDA? Accept this one so your draft is covered, then send yours from your case in the client portal; we review it and sign it if we can agree to it.
Confidential information
Confidential information is everything either side shares in connection with a project that is not public: case material, documents, data, photographs and recordings, the names of people and parties, drafts, scripts, the animation itself and its working files, prices and quotes, and anything a reasonable person would understand to be confidential.
It does not include information that is already public through no fault of the receiving side, that the receiving side already held before it was shared, that the receiving side developed on its own without using it, or that the receiving side lawfully received from a third party free of any duty of confidence. Nor does it include information the receiving side is required by law or a court to pass on, in which case it tells the other side first where the law allows.
What each side promises
Each side keeps the other’s confidential information confidential and uses it only for the project. Each side shares it only with its own people and contractors who need it for the project and are bound by the same duties. MISH MISH also shares it with the providers listed in the Privacy Policy under “Who helps us”, each under a data processing agreement, and with no one else without your written permission.
MISH MISH never publishes a confidential project in its portfolio or promotional material without your written permission.
How material is kept
Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in a private bucket in the EU (Cloudflare R2, EU jurisdiction), and reached only through short-lived links after your access is checked. Openings and every download are recorded. The companies that process data on our behalf are listed in the Privacy Policy and bound by data processing agreements.
Return and deletion
You can delete a draft, and a case that is finished: delivered, closed, declined or cancelled. A case in progress cannot be deleted; you can cancel it before production starts, or ask us to remove a single file from it. Deleted records and files go to a locked store for 30 days and are then erased. We keep a note that the deletion happened, and the invoices and credit notes the law requires us to keep.
Deliverables you have approved and paid for may be kept and used under the licence in the Terms of Use.
Remedies and limits
A breach of this agreement may cause harm that money cannot put right, so either side may seek an injunction as well as any other remedy. This agreement does not oblige either side to go ahead with a project, and it grants no licence to the other side’s confidential information beyond its use for the project.
How long it lasts
This agreement applies from the moment you accept it and lasts for as long as the information stays confidential, including after the project ends or your account is removed.
Governing law
This agreement is governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
