Question

In a non-compete agreement, the term "ancillary" means that

	a.	both parties must have a stake in the outcome.
	b.	the non-compete agreement is unfair to the employee, but not the employer.
	c.	the non-compete agreement must be part of a larger agreement.
	d.	the agreement is harmless to the general public.

Answer 1

Option C.

• A non compete agreement is a type of agreement within a business where any one party decides or refrains from competition.
• This type of agreement usually occurs between the employees and the employers.
• It prevents any one party from revealing the important trade secrets to other competing parties during or after the employment period.
• These type of agreements might be either void or valid.
• If it has to be considered as valid, it must be ancillary. Which means that it must be a part of a large agreement.
