FAQ
While your non-compete would still potentially be enforceable, non-competes typically would only prevent you from working for a competitor. Since you indicate that the company that you are taking a position with is not a competitor, but is a customer, it is unlikely that your non-compete would apply.
How do I get out of a non-compete agreement in Texas? To get out of a non-compete agreement in Texas, you may negotiate with your employer, prove that the terms are unreasonable or unenforceable, or show that it violates legal standards.
Some potential ways to get out of a non-compete agreement in Texas include the following: Negotiate with the employer to modify the terms of the agreement. Challenge the enforceability of the agreement in court. Wait for the agreement to expire. Seek a waiver or exemption from the agreement.
In Texas, a court has the ability to modify – or even nullify – the non-compete if the court determines that it is not reasonable. The courts are given wide latitude to reform a non-compete if the court believes the scope of activity, duration, or geographic area are too restrictive.
As you can see, non-competes are not enforceable in California, although other states currently allow them. Instead, you can opt for a non-disclosure agreement, or hire employees who live and work in other states.
The simplest way to get out of that kind of contract is merely to ask them to release your from it. If they refuse, you might need to get a lawyer to aid you in doing so. Non-compete contracts usually have penalties specified and certainly have durations. A contract that the courts deem to be unfair can be nullified.
Several factors can void or limit the enforceability of a non-compete agreement, including overly broad restrictions, unreasonable time frames or geographical limits, lack of consideration (such as compensation or job opportunities provided in exchange for the agreement), and violation of public policy.
A noncompete is unenforceable if it restricts an employee's ability to exercise their rights under federal law. No employer may enter into a covenant not to compete or a covenant not to solicit with any employee.
