Common use of Mutual Non-Solicitation Clause in Contracts

Mutual Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, neither party will solicit for employment any employees of the other party or its affiliates who, within six (6) months prior to such solicitation: (a) directly performed under this Agreement, (b) had substantial contact with the hiring party in relation to this Agreement, or (c) the hiring party became aware of due to, or derived from information learned through the performance of, this Agreement. For this purpose, "solicitation" does not include contact resulting from indirect means such as public advertisement, placement firm searches or similar means not directed specifically at the employee to which the employee responds on his or her own initiative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may at any time, directly or indirectly, solicit and hire any employee of the other party if such employee did not resign but was terminated by the other party. The parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of this “Non-Solicitation” clause will not give rise to a right of termination of this Agreement; the party not in breach will only have the right to seek and recover direct damages from the breaching party.
