Many years ago (at least 25) I was required to sign an NDA to work at a private event for a catering company. I wasn’t a regular employee of the caterer. I occasionally helped when they needed extra people.
They asked me to help with this event and told me about the NDA. I didn’t see the NDA until I arrived at the event and was handed a pen and the last page of the three page document.
They said, “sign here or you have to leave right now.” The money was going to be substantial for only a couple hours of work, so I signed. Let me tell you, they were smart to require the NDA.
My question is, since I was never given the full document, and I was required to sign immediately, is the NDA valid? I know signing it was probably not the wise thing to do, but my friends at the caterer assured me they had all done the same thing and it was not a big deal.
