FAQ
There are three types of NDAs: unilateral, bilateral, and multilateral. Read on to learn when you should use each type. You'll also learn how to use a contract management tool like Ironclad to draft and manage them.
Available legal options for seeking to enforce a non-disparagement agreement primarily include sending a cease-and-desist letter, filing a lawsuit for injunctive relief to stop (or request the removal) of any disparaging statements or posts, and pursuing legal claims for common law defamation.
Employment contracts or settlement agreements containing nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) or non-disparagement clauses pertaining to sexual misconduct allegations are now void under Utah state law.
No. Non-disparagement clauses are prohibited by the Consumer Review Fairness Act (“the Act”). It is unlawful for a person to offer a form contract containing a non- disparagement clause. The existence of a non- disparagement clause does not void the entire contract – just the specific provision.
Non-compete agreements typically restrict an employee from competing with an employer's business for a period of time in a specific geographical area. Utah courts require that non-compete restrictions be “reasonably limited in time and geographic area” in order to be valid and enforceable.
NDAs are enforceable once signed, provided they have been drafted and executed properly. Unilateral NDAs need only the signature of the receiving party, whereas mutual non-disclosure agreements need the signatures of both parties.
To create a Non-Disclosure Agreement, include the following information: The parties' names and contact information. The length of the non-disclosure period. The scope and definition of the confidential information. The obligations of the Non-Disclosure Agreement. The ownership and return information.
In Part 1 of this series, I explained that Utah courts will enforce Restrictive Covenants (like non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements, no-hire clauses, and similar provisions), as long as they are written to protect the employer's “blood, sweat, and tears”—its innovation, investment, goodwill, etc.
H.B. 55 adds a new section to the Utah Antidiscrimination Act providing that nondisclosure or non-disparagement clauses regarding sexual misconduct (sexual assault or harassment) required as a condition of employment are against public policy, void and unenforceable.
