non-circumvention agreements
A non-circumvention agreement is a legal contract that prevents one party from bypassing another party to directly engage with clients, suppliers, or business partners. It’s often used in negotiations to protect all parties' interests, ensuring that sensitive information and business opportunities are not exploited unfairly. For example, if a broker introduces a buyer to a seller, this agreement ensures the buyer doesn’t go directly to the seller later, cutting out the broker. Such agreements help maintain trust and encourage collaboration in business relationships.
