Confidentiality and Covenant Not to Compete Clause Samples
The "Confidentiality and Covenant Not to Compete" clause serves to protect a party’s sensitive information and restricts the other party from engaging in competitive activities. In practice, this clause typically requires individuals or entities to keep proprietary information private and prohibits them from working for or starting a competing business for a specified period and within a certain geographic area after the relationship ends. Its core function is to safeguard business interests by preventing the misuse of confidential information and reducing the risk of unfair competition.
