A North Dakota non-solicitation agreement is a contract that aims to protect the business interests of a company against its competitors. It sets rules for the sharing of confidential information and establishes limits for soliciting the company’s customers, clients, contractors, or employees. All conditions of the agreement must be held to a specific time period, geographic territory, and list of goods or services.
Is It Legally Enforceable in North Dakota?
It depends. Non-solicitation agreements have been held to be enforceable in North Dakota where they would limit a former employee’s ability to solicit former co-workers to leave the employer. (Warner and Company v. Solberg, 634 N.W.2d 65, 73 (N.D. 2001))
Other provisions may be possible in agreements emerging from the sale and purchase of a business or the dissolution of a business or partnership. (N.D. Cent. Code §9- 08-06)
