You are about the hire an editor to help with the production of a script for a documentary on the lives of illegal immigrants in Texas (see Assignment 5, Writing a Personal Services Contract). Because the contracted editor will have access to proprietary information, you want him/her to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Also, you do not want the editor to take the skills he/she developed on the contract and begin competing against your company, so you want him/her to sign a non-competition agreement.

Create short 1. non-disclosure and 2. non-competition agreements that the contractor can be asked to sign.
