The Legal Risk Score of a Non-Circumvention Agreement Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The document introduces a non-circumvention clause that restricts parties from engaging in certain business activities, which could limit opportunities for collaboration or expansion with new partners in related fields.
  • The amendment process outlined in the document lacks detailed procedural steps, which might lead to ambiguities or misunderstandings about how changes should be implemented effectively.
  • The agreement does not specify the consequences or remedies if the non-circumvention clause is breached, potentially leaving parties without clear recourse in the event of a violation.
