Competing Activities Clause Samples
The Competing Activities clause restricts one or both parties from engaging in business activities that directly compete with the other party’s interests during the term of the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines specific types of businesses, services, or markets that are considered competitive, and may require parties to disclose or seek approval before participating in such activities. Its core function is to prevent conflicts of interest and protect proprietary business interests by ensuring that parties do not undermine each other’s market position or confidential information through competing ventures.
