Document background
The Non-Compete Non-Disclosure Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Saudi Arabia who need to protect their confidential information and prevent competitive activities by employees, contractors, or business partners. This document is particularly relevant in the context of Saudi Arabia's rapidly evolving business environment under Vision 2030, where protection of intellectual property and trade secrets is increasingly important. The agreement must comply with Saudi Labor Law, which requires non-compete provisions to be reasonable in duration, geographic scope, and nature of restricted activities. It typically includes detailed definitions of confidential information, specific competitive restrictions, and enforcement mechanisms that are compatible with both Saudi civil law and Shariah principles. This document is commonly used during employee onboarding, business partnerships, or when engaging consultants and contractors who will have access to sensitive information.
