Non-competition clauseNon-competition clause/ Non-Compete/ Exclusivity/ Predatory Soliciting Clause. A contractual promise to the employing company under which a contractor, usually an ex-employee, agrees not compete with the original client by contracting with business competitors. Also found in third party contracts with agencies or brokers. These clauses are enforced, although courts will look unfavorably on a clause that imposes an undue hardship on the employee, such as a broad prohibition that forecloses an employee from working in his/her particular trade, or that has an unnecessarily broad geographic scope or time frame.
