The Non-Compete Disclosure Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Saudi Arabia who need to protect their competitive advantages and confidential information. This document is typically used when engaging with employees, contractors, business partners, or other parties who will have access to sensitive business information or could potentially compete with the business. The agreement must be carefully structured to comply with Saudi Labor Law, Commercial Courts Law, and Sharia principles, particularly regarding reasonable restrictions in terms of duration, geographical scope, and type of prohibited activities.
