Non-Compete Agreement
A standalone non-competition agreement for U.S. use, covering employees, independent contractors and the sale of a business. Sets the restricted activity, duration, geographic scope, customer and employee non-solicitation, and confidentiality, together with the consideration given in exchange. Non-competes are void for employees in California, Minnesota, North Dakota and Oklahoma; in those states the document renders instead as a confidentiality and non-solicitation agreement, which remains available. Many other states impose earnings thresholds, advance-notice periods or garden-leave requirements, and some courts void an overbroad covenant entirely rather than narrowing it, so the document keeps the restriction narrow and the fallback clauses intact.
