An independent contractor non-compete agreement is a legal document that restricts a hired independent contractor from competing with the hiring company and from wrongfully using the confidential information exposed to them during their term. The document, once signed, enables both parties to openly discuss the business venture in question and it provides the company with the ability to share all trade secrets, proprietary information, and intellectual property without fear that imparting the knowledge will negatively impact their business. Both parties must sign the form for it to be considered legally viable.
Independent Contractor NDA – Prohibits a contractor from releasing any type of proprietary information that is learned from the work provided to the client.
