Good to know
- Canadian courts enforce these promises only if they are reasonable in time, area and scope, and clear. Protect named or written introductions, not the whole market.
- This is for businesses dealing with each other. Ontario's Employment Standards Act, 2000 bans most non-compete clauses for employees, so do not use this to stop an employee from working elsewhere.
- Do not use it to agree with a competitor on prices or to split up customers or territories. That can break the Competition Act.
