NDA Protocol

Last updated: 11 July 2026 · DROP by Teknoloji Tekstil San. ve Tic. Ltd. Şti., Tekstilkent Business Center, Esenler, Istanbul, Türkiye

Confidentiality is not a feature of our process — it is the process. This page explains how intellectual property is protected at DROP before, during and after manufacturing.

1. When the NDA is executed

A mutual non-disclosure agreement is issued and executed before any design detail changes hands — typically within the same working session as your first brief. Until the NDA is signed, we will not ask you for sketches, tech packs, reference garments or embellishment details, and we ask that you do not send them.

2. What the NDA covers

All designs, sketches, tech packs, patterns, reference garments and samples you share with us;
Your brand identity, launch plans, pricing, target markets and commercial terms;
All materials, techniques and construction solutions developed for your project;
The existence and content of our commercial relationship, unless you choose to disclose it.

3. What we commit to

Confidential information is accessed only by team members working directly on your project, each bound by written confidentiality obligations. Physical samples are stored in restricted areas and either returned or destroyed at your instruction at project end. We never display, photograph for marketing, or reference your products without your prior written consent.

4. First Right of Manufacture

For exclusive developments — custom fabrications, proprietary construction techniques or signature silhouettes engineered for your label — First Right of Manufacture clauses are available. These contractually reserve the developed technique or specification for your brand, so your investment in development cannot be reused for another client.

5. Requesting the NDA

Start a brief through the chat concierge or contact our team; the mutual NDA is issued the same day. If your legal team prefers to work from your own template, we review and countersign client NDAs as standard practice.

This page describes our confidentiality protocol in general terms and is not itself a contract; the executed NDA between the parties is the governing document.
