NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT
An agreement between an employer and employee, where the employee agrees not to use information learned during employment in succeeding business efforts for a specific period of time. Employers usually insist on non-compete agreements because of the possibility of an employee, upon termination or resignation, working for a competitor or starting a business, and gaining competitive advantage by abusing confidential information about their former employer's trade secrets or sensitive information such as customer/client lists, business practices, and upcoming products.
