These typically include: the confidential information was already public at the time it was disclosed; the confidential information was already or subsequently disclosed to you by someone NOT under NDA restrictions; you yourself had already developed the same confidential information at the time it was disclosed; you were forced to disclose it by force of law, etc. If you are working with a business that feels the information it needs to share with you is a trade secret, it is both arrogant and unprofessional for you to second guess that customer. Especially if they are a startup, that trade secret may be literally the only value that company has. I would never work with a supplier who refused to sign my NDA.
