Competing Enterprises Clause Samples

The Competing Enterprises clause restricts one or both parties from engaging in business activities that directly compete with the other party’s core operations. Typically, this clause outlines specific industries, products, or services that are considered competitive, and may set geographic or temporal limits on the restriction. Its primary function is to protect a party’s business interests by preventing conflicts of interest and reducing the risk of unfair competition during and sometimes after the contractual relationship.
