I would start with a demand letter and see if you can work out a confession of judgment and a payment plan with debtor

Yes, you can send such a notice for nonpayment. I would send one in the form of a demand letter.

Please resubmit this as a proposal so we can bid on the opportunity. Please include in the proposal the length of the contract applicable to the loan. Here is a link: https://www.contractscounsel.com/client/create-project/step-h1.

Hello if you have sent a letter of demand the next step would be to file a small claims suit. However, depending on how much you are owed the suit may not be beneficial. Also, in order to recoup the money you have to go through litigation and win, then you have to figure out ways to get the money you are owed because the courts do not enforce money judgments.

Courts will uphold all agreements between parties provided they are validly made, even confidentiality agreements. So first you must ensure that the confidentiality agreement is a valid agreement. Once you have assured yourself of that, you need to look at what sort of "breach" you might want to claim if you are considering going to Court. The issue, in the event that you do go to Court, will be - what are the remedies that the Court will provide in order to remedy the "breach". Will the Court provide for "damages" or issue some sort of "injuncutory relief" or other sort of order that the breaching party will need to fulfill.
