What is the difference between a non-disclosure and non-compete agreement?
Whereas a non-disclosure agreement can broadly protect confidential information, a non-compete agreement is more specific — an employee agrees not to enter into competition with their current employer. They prohibit competitive practices such as the employee soliciting their employer’s customers, or working with competing businesses.
What is a jurisdiction clause in a non-disclosure agreement?
The Jurisdiction clause establishes which state’s laws govern the non-disclosure agreement.

Be aware that different states treat NDAs differently.
