Contracts
Employee Confidentiality Agreement
Maryland
Can an employer enforce a non-compete clause in an Employee Confidentiality Agreement?
I recently signed an Employee Confidentiality Agreement with my employer, which includes a non-compete clause restricting me from working for a competitor for a certain period of time after leaving the company. I am considering a job opportunity with a competitor, but I am unsure if this non-compete clause is legally enforceable. I want to know if my employer can enforce this clause and if there are any potential consequences for violating it.
Randy M.
Given the recent legal developments around non-competes, here's exactly where things stand for your situation: Where Things Stand: The FTC Ban Isn’t Active The Federal Trade Commission did try to ban most non-compete agreements across the country, but that rule was blocked by a federal court in Texas on August 20, 2024. The ruling included a nationwide injunction, which means the FTC can't enforce the rule at this time. They’ve already appealed, but for now, nothing has changed legally. So, we’re still in a state-by-state landscape when it comes to whether your non-compete is actually enforceable. So Can Your Employer Enforce It? That depends on where you live and the details of your agreement. Courts usually look at whether the restrictions are reasonable, and they focus on three main areas: 1. Timeframe: Most courts consider anything from six months to two years fair, depending on your role and industry. Anything longer tends to raise red flags. 2. Location: The restriction has to make sense based on where your employer actually does business. If it tries to block you from working anywhere in the country, but your employer only operates regionally, that could be a problem for them. 3. What You’re Being Blocked From Doing: The agreement has to be targeted. It should protect real business interests like client relationships, proprietary methods, or sensitive information. It can’t just exist to shut you out of the market. Why Your State Matters The enforceability of non-competes can vary a lot depending on where you are. A few states have almost completely banned them—California, North Dakota, and Oklahoma, for example. Others still allow them but have been tightening the rules, especially for lower-income employees. Many have added salary thresholds or narrowed which industries can use them at all. What Happens If You Break It? If your non-compete is enforceable and you go against it, your former employer might: • Ask the court to stop you from working at your new job immediately • Sue for money if they can prove you caused financial harm • Make you pay legal fees, depending on what your contract says Even if the clause wouldn't hold up in court, it can still create problems. Just the threat of legal action can be expensive and stressful. Plus, some potential employers may steer clear of hiring someone with a non-compete, even if it’s questionable. What You Should Do Next • Read your agreement closely. Pay attention to how long it lasts, where it applies, and what it actually prohibits. • Look up your state’s laws. That’s the key to figuring out whether the agreement holds water. • Talk to an employment attorney. A short consultation can give you clarity and protect you from missteps. • Think about your new role. If the new job is different enough or doesn’t involve the same clients or confidential information, that can help your case. So, yes, the national situation is in flux, but the practical reality is that non-compete law is still very much a state-by-state issue. Don't assume you’re stuck, but don't make any moves without legal advice either. Since every non-compete is different, it can really help to have a lawyer review yours and explain what it means. Attorneys here on Contracts Counsel would be happy to help.

My roofer says they have to change my contract increaseMy price by 2000Because the tile has been discontinued and need aDifferentKind.Can they do that?
Putting in new tile roof, Have a contract. Roofer wants 2000 Change
Corey P.
Good morning. This will depend on whether your contract is a fixed price, time and materials, or some other orangemen, and what your contract says about materials to be used, the contractor's ability to provide substitute materials, and any contractual limitations on the price increase for substitute materials. You may want to request a layer review your contract for these provisions and advise accordingly.

Membership Agreement
Massachusetts
What are the legal implications of terminating a membership agreement with a fitness club?
I recently signed a membership agreement with a fitness club that included a one-year commitment. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I am now unable to continue using their facilities. I would like to understand the legal implications and potential consequences of terminating the membership agreement before the one-year term is completed, as well as any potential financial obligations or penalties I may face.
Richard G.
The ramifications of terminating a membership agreement with a fitness club is going to depend highly upon the contract that the club and the club user have executed. The devil is most definitely in the details in any contract. Have your contract reviewed by an attorney with years of experience in contract review/drafting, etc.

Royalty Agreement
Washington
Is it possible to negotiate the terms of a royalty agreement for my creative work?
I am an independent artist who recently received an offer from a publishing company to use my artwork for merchandising purposes. They have provided me with a royalty agreement, but I am unsure about some of the terms and whether they are fair. I believe that my artwork has significant commercial potential, and I want to ensure that I am adequately compensated for its use. Therefore, I am seeking legal advice on whether it is possible to negotiate the terms of the royalty agreement to better protect my interests and maximize my potential earnings.
Merry K.
I do not consider myself an expert in this area, but a royalty agreement is a type of contract, and there are several things for you to know about contracts in general. In no particular order: 1. The terms of any contract can be negotiated; 2. Any time a company hands someone any type of contract the company wrote, almost all terms will favor the company and not the other party signing the contract; and 3. Any time one is considering signing a contract for any type of real value, it's best to have a contracts attorney review the contract, advise you, and help you negotiate terms that are more favorable to you. (I'm not trying to push work for attorneys - I'm suggesting this to protect you). If you were signing a contract to have a kid mow your lawn once a week, you typically would not need an attorney - but for something like this, you were wise to ask questions. You can find contracts attorneys through wsba.org, and looking through the Directory under "contracts" or of course through ContractsCounsel.com. Whatever attorney you hire for a consultation, review, advice, or negotiation for something so important, please be sure to look into the attorney's reviews, education, experience, etc, just like you would for any other "expensive employee." Good luck to you, and I wish you every success. As a PS, this type of contract is outside my wheelhouse - just posted these comments to try and be of help to you. Best, Merry
