Hello Everyone,

we all learned this week about NDAs and CDAs. After working with consultants for about 3 years. I realized that some of them do not bind by the NDAs or the CDAs they sign. From my experience, We hired a consultant who was helping my company establish design controls for our company. After working with the consultant we found that all the templates he was using was from another company that he consulted for before. We found that out when some documents were sent to us that had embedded logos and macros from that other company. When my manager asked him if he had the right to use that template, the consultant mentioned that he liked the template so he copied it from that company. At the time, we refused to use the template and we developed our own documentation. I would like to get your inputs on this and whether something like this would violate an NDA or a CDA? have you had any similar experiences?
