Both Parties understand and agree that any attempt on the part of any Party to induce employees or other contractors to leave the other Party's employ, or any effort by any Party to interfere with the other Party's relationship with its employees and other contractators would be harmful and damaging to such Party.

Non-Competition.
Clients insert non-compete clauses into employment contracts to restrict the Contractor’s ability to compete against the Client, thereby protecting the Client’s confidential information or customer relations for a specific period of time. For a restrictive covenant to be enforced it must not be drafted too widely. It will be for the Client, in the event of a clause being challenged, to show that the clause is justified and sufficiently narrow. To meet these criteria the Client must be mindful of certain factors: a) The breadth of the geographical area of any restriction and the length of time of the post termination restriction must be justified. It is unlikely that a wide geographical area will be justified and, as a general rule, a restriction for more than 6-12 months will be difficult to justify. b) The breadth of the activities that the Client is trying to restrict. c) The type of interest being protected, for instance, information such as trade secrets may be granted wider protection than customer information, given that its potential use across markets is wider.

Force Majeure.
This clause essentially frees both parties from liability or obligation when an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the control of the parties, such as a war, strike, riot, crime, or an event described by the legal term act of God (hurricane, flood, earthquake, volcanic eruption, etc.), prevents one or both parties from fulfilling their obligations under the contract. In practice, most force majeure clauses do not excuse a party's non-performance entirely, but only suspend it for the duration of the force majeure. Force majeure is generally intended to include occurrences beyond the reasonable control of a party, and therefore would not cover: a) Any result of the negligence or malfeasance of a party, which has a materially adverse effect on the ability of such party to perform its obligations. b) Any result of the usual and natural consequences of external forces. Also called “vis major” or "superior force”.
Add Comment
Cancel
Notwithstanding the preceding, in the event such Force Majeure continues for a period of
consecutive months, either party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve a written notice on the other terminating this Agreement in full and each shall have no further obligation whatsoever to the other save that Company shall continue to be obliged to make payments of monies due hereunder but not paid at the date of termination.
