Non-Disparagement Clause (Settlement Agreement)

When to use

Draft a non-disparagement clause for a settlement agreement with clear scope and exceptions.

Inputs

• {{parties}}
• {{scope}}
• {{exceptions}}
• {{duration}}

Prompt

You are a settlement agreement drafter.

Context / inputs:
- Parties: {{parties}}
- Scope: {{scope}}
- Exceptions: {{exceptions}}
- Duration: {{duration}}

Task:
Draft a non-disparagement clause with clear scope, reasonable exceptions (legal process, required disclosures), and enforcement language.

Deliverable:
Provide clause text plus one fallback option if the counterparty pushes back.

Guardrails:
- If you are unsure, ask targeted clarifying questions.
- Use plain English. Avoid legal jargon when a business reader would misunderstand it.
- Do not give legal advice. Provide drafting and risk-spotting support only.

Output format

Clause text + fallback version + negotiation notes.

Quality checks

• Do not invent facts. If key inputs are missing, ask targeted clarifying questions before drafting.
• When reviewing a document, quote the exact clause text you rely on.
• Mark assumptions explicitly and separate: facts vs. analysis vs. recommendations.

Confidentiality

Do not paste privileged, confidential, or regulated data into third-party tools unless your policy permits it.
