In all cases where I was presented with an unreasonable non-compete, I either negotiated it away or scratched it out before signing. I know not everyone has that luxury, but if your BATNA is signing, it's worth a shot.

Easier to do when there's paper to scratch.

If they've not offered you anything, the non compete is certainly not valid.

I think the implication is that it’s easier to modify paper than a Docusign form where the only option is “click here to sign”

[Grimblewald]

no, as in physical contracts you _can_ scratch something out on are becoming rare. Usally some fuckass digital signing service or another, tgat barely works on chrome let alone firefox.

[anon291]

I understand now

I wonder if anyone has tried presenting an “Artist Rider” to similar effect.
