# What is the difference between MFG's 1st Level and 2nd Level NDA terms?

## MFG provides two electronic confirmation methods for NDAs to manage access to RFQs.

### NDA Access Levels on MFG

When sharing files with suppliers on MFG, you can choose between two levels of NDA protection:

**1. First-Level NDA (Single Confirm)**  
Suppliers must review and accept the NDA before accessing your files. Once they click **“Accept,”** access is granted immediately.  
**\*\*Best practice:** Choose this option for faster collaboration — it provides solid protection while keeping the quoting process efficient.

 

**2. Second-Level NDA (Double Confirm)**  
Suppliers first accept the NDA, then you (the buyer) approve their access before files are shared. This adds an additional layer of control and oversight.  
**\*\*Best practice:** Use this option when confidentiality is critical or when you prefer to approve which suppliers can view your files.
