Non-Circumvent and Non-Compete

The purpose of a non-circumvention (or non-circumvent) agreement is to prevent one or more parties from being passed over in a transaction, leaving them without full compensation for their labor or involvement. A non-circumvention agreement serves the important purpose of protecting businesses from being taken advantage of. It prevents one or more parties in a business deal from being bypassed and deprived of full compensation for their efforts or involvement. In addition, such an agreement ensures that the intellectual property that a business discloses to another party during negotiations will not be disclosed to a third party. An unsure party can use a non-circumvention agreement to protect itself when it is entering into an agreement with a certain party for the first time or there is insufficient trust between the parties.
