Antonio Moura Santos - Non Compete Agreement & Sole Ownership


Antonio Moura Santos - Sole Ownership & Non Compete Agreement

Antionio Moura Santos is about to release a new online e-book that will be made available via Amazon.  While there is much anticipation for the book, we would like to provide a couple of examples.  

Below you will find a draft of a NDA contract.  Notice how it protects the interest of the person owning the intellectual property.  As a marketer, this is very important.



1.      Sole Ownership and Non Compete

2.2   All existing and new intellectual property related to the Company's product, generated with, through or by the Recipient will be the sole property of the Company.


2.3   The Recipient hereby agrees that he/she shall not compete, directly or indirectly, with the business of the Company. In this context, the Recipient hereby agrees that he/she shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, distribute, offer to sell, supply or market any of the products of the Company, either currently manufactured or planned by the Company. 

2.      Term

Recipient's obligation to protect Confidential Information, as defined above, shall survive the relationship between the parties and any termination thereof of their relationship with no time limitations thereafter.  To be clear, all methods/techniques/communities/software/services/networking and corporate clients that are exposed to the Recipient are never to be used, duplicated, sold, etc., even after termination of relationship unless prior written permission or limited license approval is given.

3.      Delivery of Information.
