The Non-Compete Disclosure Agreement is essential in South African business relationships where one party needs to protect their legitimate business interests, confidential information, and competitive advantage. This document is commonly used in employment relationships, business sales, partnerships, and consulting arrangements. It must be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with South African constitutional rights, competition law, and common law principles on restraint of trade. The agreement typically includes specific provisions about geographical limitations, time periods, and scope of restricted activities, all of which must be reasonable and justifiable. It's particularly important in situations involving access to trade secrets, customer relationships, or proprietary information that could be harmful to the business if used by competitors.
