The Employee acknowledges that they will acquire considerable knowledge and expertise from the Company as well as from vendors, subcontractors, and other employees in the course of carrying out their job duties. 

Furthermore, the Employee acknowledges that they may be able to use such knowledge in a manner detrimental to the Company. Therefore, the Employee agrees to the following.

An Employee will not, for a period of [TERM MONTHS] months following termination of their employment approach, entice, solicit, or contact any individual in employment at [СOMPANY] for any reason.

The Employee agrees to provide this contract to any and all subsequent employers of the Employee during the term of this non-solicitation agreement.

The Employee agrees that all provisions are fair and just. If at any time or point any provision is voided all other provisions shall remain in effect.

3. Prior Understandings
