The largest difference between these terms is that a non-compete agreement would prevent the receipient of the information from obtaining employment with a competitor to the owner of the information. This time frame usually lasts for a period of one year. While the document you can obtain from this web site does not focus on non-compete issues. It does offer the option to include a non-compete provision that would prevent the recipient of the information from obtaining employment with a competitor for one year.
