Non-Disparagement Clause
We always hope for the best in our business relationships. Still, it’s smart to include a non-disparagement clause in employment contracts and business agreements.
A non-disparagement clause prevents other professionals from spreading false or negative comments about your business. For example, an employee can’t post a damaging review online if the work relationship goes bad. This protects your business's reputation and promotes professionalism in every partnership.
Created by attorneys, this template gives you the legal protection you need without hassle. Just download, fill in the blanks, and add this section to your business contract.
It’s easy to modify as much as you need. You can edit and use this clause in your contracts over and over again!
