What is the Kidokinetics franchisee's obligation regarding non-disclosure and non-competition covenants?

to be appropriate.

• 18.5. Non-Competition Covenants. Franchisee and each Principal, if any, specifically acknowledge that, pursuant to this Agreement, Franchisee and each Principal, if any, will receive valuable training, trade secrets and Confidential Information of the System that are beyond the present knowledge, training and experience of Franchisee, each Principal and Franchisee's managers and employees. Franchisee and each Principal, if any, acknowledge that such specialized training, trade secrets and Confidential Information provide a competitive advantage and will be valuable to them in the development and operation of the Kidokinetics Business, and that gaining access to such specialized training, trade secrets and Confidential Information is, therefore, a primary reason why Franchisee and each Principal, if any, are entering into this Agreement. In consideration for such specialized training, trade secrets, Confidential Information and rights, Franchisee and each Principal, if any, covenant that, except as otherwise approved in writing by Franchisor:
  • 18.5.1. During the term of this Agreement, Franchisee, each Principal, and the spouse of Franchisee and each Principal if any, shall not, either directly or indirectly, for themselves or through, on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any person or entity: (i) divert, or attempt to divert, any business or customer of the Kidokinetics Business or of other franchisees in the System to any competitor, by direct or indirect inducement or otherwise; (ii) participate as an owner, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant or agent or serve in any other capacity in any youth fitness business or any other business offering any other goods or services offered or authorized for sale by System franchisees ("Competing Business"); (iii) do or perform, directly or indirectly, any other act injurious or prejudicial to the goodwill associated with the Marks and the System; or (iv) in any manner interfere with, disturb, disrupt, decrease or otherwise jeopardize the business of the Franchisor or any Kidokinetics franchisees.
  • 18.5.2. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, or upon a Transfer and continuing for 24 months, Franchisee and Principals, and the spouse of Franchisee and each Principal if any, shall not, either directly or indirectly, for themselves or through, on behalf of or in conjunction with any person or entity (i) divert, or attempt to divert, any business or customer of the Kidokinetics Business or of other franchisees in the System to any competitor, by direct or indirect inducement or otherwise; (ii) participate as an owner, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant or agent or serve in any other capacity in Competing Business within a twenty (20) mile radius of the perimeter of (a) the Territory being granted hereunder, or (b) any other Territory licensed by Franchisor as of the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement; (iii) do or perform, directly or indirectly, any other act injurious or prejudicial to the goodwill associated with the Marks and the System; (iv) in any manner interfere with, disturb, disrupt, decrease or otherwise jeopardize the business of the Franchisor or any Kidokinetics franchisees; or (v) solicit business from customers of Franchisee's former Kidokinetics Business or contact any of Franchisor's suppliers or vendors for any competitive business purpose.
• 18.6. Reasonableness of Restrictions. Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants not to compete set forth in this Agreement are fair and reasonable and will not impose any undue hardship on Franchisee or Principals, if any, since Franchisee or Principals, as the case may be, have other considerable skills, experience and education which afford Franchisee or Principals, as the case may be, the opportunity to derive income from other endeavors.

• 18.7. Reduction of Time or Scope. If the period of time or the geographic scope specified above should be adjudged unreasonable in any proceeding, then the period of time will be reduced by such number of months or the geographic scope will be reduced by the elimination of such portion of geographic scope, or both, so that such restrictions may be enforced for such time and scope as are adjudged to be reasonable. In addition, Franchisor has the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce the scope of any covenant set forth in this Article 18 or any portion thereof, without Franchisee's consent, effective immediately upon receipt by Franchisee of written notice, and Franchisee agrees to immediately comply with any covenant as so modified.
• 18.8. Injunctive Relief. Franchisee acknowledges that a violation of the covenants not to compete contained in this Agreement would result in immediate and irreparable injury to Franchisor for which no adequate remedy at law will be available. Accordingly, Franchisee hereby consents to the entry of an injunction prohibiting any conduct by Franchisee or any Principal in violation of the terms of the covenants not to compete set forth in this Agreement.
