[About NDA contracts and how to approach them.]

Hello, 
I am aware that as a Fiverr freelancer you work under the Fiverr NDA.

Hi,

I am having a very uncomfortable and unusual experience with a client now. 😒🙄

The buyer suggested about 20%-40% lower value than I proposed for a design job under storyboard designing. I'll not go in to exact figures due to obvious reasons of under valuing this client/ this order/ this incident.

The thing was only a graphic design job for an animation project (30 second - 60 second). My task could be to draw the storyboards according to the provided script from the company. Please note that the client did not mention about signing an NDA before agreeing to place the order. After, the client said, they cannot send the script without the NDA signed. Also, mentioned about forgetting it prior to placing the order.

These are some strong statement that I am not familiar:

If I agree to this, I'll not be able to provide my services to other competing clients to this company, correct?

This $60,000 is simply like a fine if receiving party (That's me) break this agreement, is it not? I don't see this much value in the project that I am currently involved with.

I don't find this as realistic under the order value I currently have and now I am considering to get this order canceled with mutual understanding.

Could you guys help me on this? I am in a real pickle... 😑
