When I'm asked to sign NDA that are writen or whose jurisdiction is outside
my country, I just sign them. There are two reasons.
- The first reason is that I'm, off course, not going to break it, so if the
NDA is reasonable I see no point on not signin it.

- The second reason, and this is why I don't make a big deal out of it, is
that although there are international laws and treaties, regarding comercial
arrangements and parterships, they cand be applied (practically) to
small-medium bussiness. The fee of such lawers is beyond the deal royalties.

Of course you might have a bigger deal in your hands, but I'm sure you'll be
consulting your personal attorney in that case :) right?

A few years ago, we send about 300 machines with an arragement like a lease
to Chile. Each machine was worth near 100 U$ dollar. A few months later, the
company in Chile broke and we never see the machines again, altough there
was a contract, but the cost to excecute that contract, plus the shipping
costs was not worth it.
