Document background
The Subcontractor Non Compete Agreement is essential for businesses operating in the Philippines who engage subcontractors with access to sensitive information, specialized knowledge, or valuable business relationships. This document type is particularly crucial in protecting legitimate business interests while adhering to Philippine legal frameworks, which require careful balancing between business protection and individual rights to work. The agreement typically includes specific provisions on restricted activities, geographical limitations, and time periods, all of which must meet reasonableness standards under Philippine law. It's commonly used when subcontractors will have access to trade secrets, client relationships, or specialized training, requiring protection beyond standard confidentiality provisions.
