When Noder was hired, she signed a non-compete agreement that prevented her from promoting, requesting or offering conflicting services to any of Orca`s competitors. In addition, the non-compete obligation included a confidentiality agreement prohibiting Noder from using or disclosing Orca`s confidential information without the company`s consent.
