Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement

This Agreement is made and entered into by and between ADAK Strategies, herein referred to as “Contractor,” and [Employee/Contractor Name], herein referred to as “Recipient.”

1. NON-COMPETE COVENANT

During employment and for a period of two years after the separation of employment for any reason, the Recipient will not directly or indirectly engage in any business that competes with ADAK Strategies or its subsidiary, Adminify.

This covenant shall apply to the geographical area that includes anywhere in the United States.

The Recipient will not be allowed to disclose marketing strategies and information that are the property of ADAK Strategies or Adminify. The Recipient will not be allowed to solicit in any manner (in person, online, or otherwise) new business for a competing company or its affiliates.

Directly or indirectly engaging in any competitive business includes, but is not limited to: (i) engaging in a business as owner, partner, or agent, (ii) becoming an employee of any third party that is engaged in such business, (iii) becoming interested directly or indirectly in any such business, or (iv) soliciting any customer of ADAK Strategies or Adminify for the benefit of a third party that is engaged in such business. The Recipient agrees that this non-compete agreement will not adversely affect their livelihood.

2. NON-SOLICITATION COVENANT

For a period of two years after the effective date of this Agreement, the Recipient will not directly or indirectly solicit business from, or attempt to sell, license, or provide the same or similar products or services as are now provided to, any customer or client of ADAK Strategies or Adminify, nor shall use ADAK Strategies' or Adminify's existing clients’ demographic and confidential information to solicit and provide quotes and/or transfer business to any competing entity. Further, for a period of three years after the effective date of this Agreement, the Recipient will not directly or indirectly solicit, induce, or attempt to induce any employee of ADAK Strategies or Adminify to terminate his or her employment with ADAK Strategies or Adminify.

3. CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT

In consideration of the commitments and obligations made by ADAK Strategies, the Recipient agrees that the execution of this Agreement is a condition of contracting with ADAK Strategies.

4. CONFIDENTIALITY

The Recipient will not at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, use for the personal benefit of, or divulge, disclose, or communicate in any manner any information that is proprietary to ADAK Strategies or Adminify. The nature of the information and the manner of disclosure are such that a reasonable person would understand it to be confidential. The Recipient will protect such information and treat it as strictly confidential. The obligation to not disclose confidential information shall continue for a period of two years after the effective date of this Agreement. Within fifteen days after receiving a written request, the Recipient will return to ADAK Strategies all records, notes, documentation, and other items that were used, created, or controlled by the Recipient.

5. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and there are no other promises or conditions in any other agreement whether oral or written.

6. SEVERABILITY

The parties have attempted to limit the non-compete provision so that it applies only to the extent necessary to protect legitimate business and property interests. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.

7. INJUNCTION

It is agreed that if the Recipient violates the terms of this Agreement, irreparable harm will occur, and money damages will be insufficient to compensate ADAK Strategies. Therefore, ADAK Strategies will be entitled to seek injunctive relief (i.e., a court order that requires compliance with this Agreement) to enforce the terms of this Agreement. The prevailing party shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs and necessary disbursements and attorneys' fees incurred in enforcing this Agreement.
