Contract clauses

The assignment is as IT Project Leader, aka technical project manager responsible for accepting and/or refusing third-party work packages and coordinating their installation and configuration on ClientCo infrastructure.
Do you think ClientCo may have enforced it to protect themselves? And the notice period as well, seems to me to be quite strange...

So you're not adding any commercial or intellectual value to the company as a whole. 12 months exclusivity is therefore unenforceable, since it represents an unreasonable restraint of trade.

Agencies understand protecting their income stream pretty well, this is almost certainly coming from the client. Do not accept it a stated, get it down to no more than 3 months.

Yep, agree with that. They are just trying to take the piss and it would be laughed out of court.

The trouble is that it could be used in bluff and bluster against a future client to scare them off. Make sure they remove it.
