China NNN Agreement Drafting — the contract foreign buyers in China actually need.
Complete a lawyer-designed intake instead of paying for repeated meetings. For drafting, a PRC lawyer prepares the China-facing NNN from your answers, confirms the timeline after intake, then revises based on your feedback.
standard NNN from 5 business days
Existing NNN/NDA review starts from $400. Complex supplier structures, multiple counterparties, or negotiation-heavy drafts are scoped separately and usually require 10+ business days.
What NNN actually covers
Non-disclosure
Your supplier cannot share your design, specs, or trade secrets with third parties.
Non-use
Your supplier cannot use your IP to make products for themselves or competitors.
Non-circumvention
Your supplier cannot go around you to sell directly to your customers.

A standard NDA won't protect you in China
Western NDAs are drafted for Western courts. In China they are often unenforceable — or worse, trigger a choice-of-law dispute before the merits are ever heard.
Enforceable in PRC courts
Drafted in Chinese, governed by PRC law, with jurisdiction in the supplier's home court. No arbitration detour.
Liquidated damages built-in
Fixed penalty amount for the kind of unexpected, hard-to-quantify breach losses that ordinary damages math cannot capture.
Non-use + non-circumvention, not just secrecy
Standard NDAs only cover non-disclosure. NNN adds non-use (the factory making the product for itself) and non-circumvention (the factory selling directly to your customers) — the two losses that actually happen in China sourcing.
Why the difference matters in dispute
| Dimension | Standard NDA | NNN Agreement |
|---|---|---|
| Governing law | Usually US / UK / HK law — PRC courts may refuse to apply. | PRC law, drafted bilingual. Chinese version controls. |
| Jurisdiction | Foreign court. Virtually unenforceable against a PRC supplier. | Chinese court where supplier is located. Fast enforcement. |
| Scope | Only "no disclosure." Silent on supplier using your IP themselves. | Covers disclosure + use + circumvention — all three risks. |
| Damages | Must prove actual loss — extremely hard cross-border. | Liquidated damages pre-agreed. Court enforces the number. |
