Non compete agreements are often a part of (or clause within) a broader agreement, e.g. an independent contractor agreement, employment agreement, confidentiality agreement distributorship agreement, etc. The following is a helpful non-exclusive checklist for a non-compete clause.
1. contact or solicit customers
2. discourage customers
3. participate in, restricted activities, e.g. engage in business that competes, etc.
Note, non-circumvention provisions may also be appropriate in certain circumstances.
