Acceptable Use Policy

Georgia

Asked on Jun 10, 2025

Can I be held legally responsible for violating an Acceptable Use Policy?

I work for a large technology company and recently discovered that I unintentionally violated our company's Acceptable Use Policy by using company resources for personal purposes. Although I did not realize this was against the policy, I'm concerned about potential legal consequences and whether I can be held personally liable for any damages or disciplinary actions as a result of this violation.

Sara S.

Answered Jun 13, 2025

Hi, Your employee handbook may have the answer to this and is worth a review with a qualified attorney. Attorneys skilled in intellectual property may be able to give you more insight as well.

New York

Asked on Jun 22, 2023

Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 10, 2024

Can an Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement prevent me from sharing my negative experiences with a company on social media?

I recently left my previous job at a company and signed an Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) during my employment. While working there, I experienced a toxic work environment, witnessed unethical practices, and was subjected to discrimination. I want to share my experiences on social media to warn others and potentially seek support, but I'm concerned that the NDA I signed may prevent me from doing so. Can the NDA legally restrict me from sharing my negative experiences with the company on social media?

Danny J.

Answered Dec 22, 2024

Employee Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) can indeed impact your ability to share certain information, but their scope and enforceability can be complex: 1. Purpose of NDAs: Typically protect confidential business information, not personal experiences. 2. Scope: The specific language in your NDA determines what information is covered. 3. Public interest: Some courts may not enforce NDAs that conceal illegal or unethical practices. 4. Whistleblower protections: Certain laws may protect disclosures of wrongdoing. 5. Defamation risks: Even without an NDA, false statements could lead to legal issues. However, the specifics of your situation require careful analysis: - The exact terms of your NDA - Nature of the information you want to share - Applicable state and federal laws - Potential risks and consequences Given the complexities and potential legal implications, it would be prudent to have a legal professional review your specific NDA and circumstances. As an experienced employment law attorney, I could: 1. Analyze your NDA's terms and enforceability 2. Advise on your rights and potential risks 3. Explore legal options for addressing your concerns 4. Guide you on how to proceed safely Would you like to discuss your situation in detail and explore your options for sharing your experiences while minimizing legal risks?

Settlement Agreement

Illinois

Asked on Dec 17, 2023

Can settlement agreements include non-monetary terms?

I recently entered into a settlement agreement with another party, and I am trying to determine whether non-monetary terms can be included in the agreement. I am concerned about potential liabilities and obligations that may arise from the agreement if non-monetary terms are included. I would like to know what legal considerations I should take into account when crafting the agreement.

Andre T.

Answered Jan 30, 2024

Settlement agreements can contain any provisions that the parties are willing to agree to provided that those provisions are not illegal or against public policy. There are also safe guards that can be included in the language of the agreement so that legally enforceable terms are undisturbed even if part of the agreement may be found to be invalid.

Employment Handbook

North Carolina

Asked on Jul 22, 2023

Employment handbook non-compete policy?

I recently accepted a job offer with a new company, and part of the offer was that I had to sign an Employment Handbook. This Handbook includes a non-compete policy that I am not comfortable with, as it restricts my ability to work with certain clients and organizations. I am concerned about the implications of this policy, and I would like to understand my rights and obligations under this policy so that I can make an informed decision about my employment.

N'kia N.

Answered Jul 25, 2023

A covenant not to compete (AKA "non-competition clause," "non-compete clause," or simply "non-compete") is a special contract term often found in employment agreements. However, not all jurisdictions allow non-competes in employment agreements. Additionally, to be valid/enforceable, a non-compete must be narrowly tailored to a legitimate business interest. An employee who has concerns about the validity/enforceability of a non-compete, or about specific rights and obligations under a non-compete, should consider speaking with a knowledgeable attorney.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
