Any NDA that works worldwide or at least for European countries??

Common law and civil law legal systems are fundamentally different, and they differ meaningfully in how NDAs get written on them. I doubt a single set of terms could cover both kinds of jurisdictions without more or less sticking two NDAs together with an IF THEN ElSE between them.

I am just an American lawyer. Working with colleagues from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada on Waypoint and Guestbook, I was surprised how well one set of terms could serve clients under all those systems.
