Hey guys,

I'm currently in the process of making some prototypes of my invention, and I want to send them to a few people in my target market to test and provide feedback.

I know that NDAs are typically not recommended here, and it makes sense why. It wouldn't make sense financially for me to take legal action if there was a breach either.
It also seems like an NDA might scare off some people, or they would just sign it and not really read and understand the terms.

Since I will be dealing with these people primarily online, I was thinking about making a simple webpage form that would have some basic agreement terms listed with checkboxes next to them. You would then sign and agree to the terms and submit the form. I thought this would make the terms simple and obvious, so they know what they're not allowed to do; and it would provide some type of mental barrier because they agreed to the terms (even though it's not legally enforceable).

Does this make sense? Is there a better way to do this to deter people from sharing information or showing other people the invention?
