A no-competition agreement is part of an employment contract. By signing the document, you are agreeing not to use what you learn or learned on the job to join or start a new company that competes in the same market as your original employers.
In many states, noncompete agreements are entirely legal. This means that companies can bring a legal case against any employee who breaks one. However, California is a notable exception to this rule. There are only a few special circumstances in which a California noncompete agreement is legal.
