Outsourcing Through RentACoder (now, vWorker) is a 418 page step-by-step user guide for entrepreneurs who want to reduce their workload and increase productivity at the same time.

Excerpts:

• Publically exposing an outsourcing work relationship can confuse customers and damage a company’s reputation. That’s why many businesses use a nondisclosure agreement (NDA). (page 53)
• A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a legal contract between at least two parties that outlines confidential materials or knowledge the parties wish to share with one another for certain purposes, but wish to restrict access to. (page 118)
• Use the information below to (1) decide what type of information you want publicized and (2) determine whether privatization and/or an NDA is appropriate. (page 121)
• Then we describe what’s inside the typical nondisclosure and confidentiality agreement (NDA). Sooner or later, you’re going to need one of these – sooner if you want to outsource on behalf of your place of employment — later if you want to test RentACoder (now, vWorker) with a few, light-weight projects first. (page 153)
• A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) — also known as a confidentiality agreement, confidential disclosure agreement (CDA), proprietary information agreement (PIA), or secrecy agreement — is a legal contract between two parties that describes the conditions in which confidential information may be accessed, used, and shared. (page 160)
• If need be, you can even protect your bid request with a non-disclosure agreement. The sixth part of this section explains more about how NDAs work with RentACoder. (page 171)
• If you filled out the Outsourcing Liabilities Worksheet and the Risk Assessment Worksheet, use them to flesh out the content of your NDA. (page 190)
• Before coders can bid on an NDA protected project, they have to read, sign, and upload a legally binding non-disclosure agreement to the RentACoder (now, vWorker) website. (page 207)
• Use the following sample non-disclosure agreement as a template for your own. But do not use it as a substitute for legal advice. If you have any questions regarding the legitimacy of any NDA agreement, consult with your attorney or legal department. (page 395)
