A non-solicitation clause prohibits an individual (for example, a former business partner or employee) from using insider knowledge to poach or entice away the employees or contractors working for the business.
Alternatively, a non-competition clause prevents a party from starting a business that is in direct competition with your business or from revealing confidential information to a competing enterprise.
With these clauses, you can list a time period in which the party must abide by the duties of confidentiality (i.e. the obligation to keep the information in confidence).
LawDepot's Confidentiality Agreement allows you to set the time frames for confidentiality, non-solicit, and non-compete clauses. However, in order for your document to be enforceable, the time limits and the impact the clauses have on the parties involved must be fair and reasonable.
For instance, a non-compete clause typically cannot be used to stop a lower-level employee from working for a competitor.
