It is a kind of restrictive covenant, which prevents someone from doing a specific action. The purpose of having this clause in an employee or independent contractor’s agreement is to prevent them from trying to steal your clients.
Usually there is a specific date informed in the clause, so during that period of the employer or company hiring the independent contractor knows the other party will not approach the client.
