How to execute

Print on non-judicial stamp paper of the value your state requires (or e-stamp), then sign with witnesses.

Print on non-judicial stamp paper or an e-stamp certificate of the value prescribed by the Stamp Act of the state where it is signed — stamp duty varies by state. All signatories should initial every page and sign before two witnesses. Many investors decline to sign NDAs at the pitch stage; share only what you can afford to have disclosed until one is signed.
