Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Courts generally prefer to modify an unreasonable non-compete clause rather than invalidate the whole contract or do nothing. This is because the goal is to balance the need to protect the legitimate interests of the business with the rights of the individual to earn a living. By modifying the clause, the court can achieve this balance by limiting the scope, duration or geographic reach of the non-compete clause to make it reasonable.
