Worried a key employee could leave and set up shop next door? Not sure how long or how wide a non-compete can reasonably reach? Have you seen clauses thrown out in court for asking too much? The Non-Compete Clause Writer aims for the reasonable middle instead.
A non-compete only helps if it is reasonable enough to hold. Copy one that overreaches and a judge may strike the whole thing. Getting the balance right is the hard part.
Short answer: Non-Compete Clause Writer, a free EizTools tool, turns your terms into a clear non-compete clause, setting the scope, time limit and region in wording you can drop into a contract and take to a professional for review.
What is Non-Compete Clause Writer?
Non-Compete Clause Writer is a document tool that drafts a single restrictive clause. You describe what you want to protect, how long the limit should last and which area it covers, and it produces a clean non-compete clause written to sit inside a larger agreement.
It is aimed at business owners, employers, franchisors and anyone selling a business who needs to stop a departing party from competing straight away. Rather than lifting a clause from an unrelated contract, you set the terms that fit your situation and get wording built around them.
How Does Non-Compete Clause Writer Work?
The tool follows the same flow as every EizTools tool. Type your terms into the prompt box, for example the role, the time limit and the geographic area. Choose an engine from the model list, open the options accordion, and press Generate. The clause lands in the result card, usually short enough to read in one pass.
Copy drops it into the contract it belongs to. The real value is the list under the result: generate a six month version and a two year version, read them next to each other, then keep the one a court is more likely to accept.
Keeping Scope, Time And Area Defensible
The advanced options control how far the clause reaches and how firmly it reads. These four matter most:
| Option | What it controls | Suggested starting point |
|---|---|---|
| Jurisdiction | The region whose rules on non-competes the wording follows | The place where it will be enforced |
| Duration | How long the restriction lasts | 6 months to 1 year, since shorter limits hold up better |
| Enforcement | How strict the clause reads | Standard, so it is firm without overreaching |
| Legal Detail | How thorough the wording is, from 1 to 100 | Around 60 for a clear, defensible clause |
A Governing Law dropdown and toggles for Include Signature Blocks, Include Recitals, Include Force Majeure Clause and Include Governing Law Clause let you fit the clause to its parent contract. The Custom Instructions box is where you name the exact activities, market and area the restriction should cover.
Important Non-compete rules vary a lot by region, and some places limit or ban them outright. A clause that is too long or too broad can be struck down. Keep the scope narrow and have a qualified lawyer confirm it before use.
Making A Clause That Holds Up
What works well
- Builds a focused clause from a plain description of your terms
- Duration and jurisdiction options steer it toward reasonable limits
- Free, with downloads in TXT, Word and HTML
- Quick to test a shorter or narrower version side by side
What to watch for
- Enforceability depends on local law, which the draft cannot decide
- An overbroad clause risks being unenforceable, so err narrow
- It is a starting draft and still needs a professional review
EizTools is a free suite of AI tools that runs without an account, credits or a paid tier. You set an engine, tune the options for your terms, and generate. A non-compete only works inside a wider agreement, so the Contract Draft Generator is a useful companion, and both live with the rest of the business tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a non-compete last?
Shorter limits are easier to defend. Many reasonable clauses run six months to a year. Set the Duration option to match, and keep the area and activities narrow so the clause stays fair.
Is a non-compete always enforceable?
No. Some regions restrict or ban them, and overly broad clauses can be struck down. Use the Jurisdiction option and have a lawyer confirm it will hold where you plan to enforce it.
Is Non-Compete Clause Writer free?
Yes, completely, and there is no registration or credit meter involved. You can draft and download as many versions of the clause as you need.
Can I fit the clause into an existing contract?
Yes. The clause is written to sit inside a larger agreement, and you can toggle signature blocks or governing law wording on or off to match the contract it joins.
A non-compete works best when it protects a real interest without reaching too far. The Non-Compete Clause Writer helps you find that line by turning your terms into clear, focused wording you can refine and check. Describe what you need to protect in the prompt box above, set the duration and jurisdiction, and generate a clause worth taking to your adviser.
