Independent Contractor Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement; perfect for contractors in long-term projects; noncompete provision

Description

This agreement is for business owners to give to independent contractors and/or third-party vendors to protect company products, trade secrets, client information, and other sensitive information. It also precludes the contractor from working for or together with direct competition.

This type of agreement (which is also referred to as a non-disclosure agreement or “NDA”) is used before hiring a contractor for a project to protect company trade secrets and procedures. This can also be signed after they have been hired…so don’t sweat it!
