Q: Hi, I have to sign a NDA to receive certain documentations, but since I am under 19, could my parents sign it?
I have been wanting documentation on a camera sensor, but for the supplier to provide it, I need to sign an NDA. What is the legality of having my parents sign it on my behalf, since I have to see the documentation and I am under 19, the legal age to sign a non disclosure agreement.
A:
If you are under 19 and need to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for documentation on a camera sensor, you will likely need your parents' help. As a minor, you generally do not have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts, including NDAs. Your parents, as your legal guardians, can sign on your behalf.
When your parents sign the NDA, it becomes their responsibility to ensure that the terms are upheld. This means they need to understand and agree to all the obligations and restrictions within the document. It's important to communicate with them about why you need the NDA and the importance of the documentation.
Additionally, you should make sure that the supplier is aware of your age and your parents' involvement. They may have specific procedures for situations involving minors. Always keep an open line of communication to avoid any potential misunderstandings.
