Non compete clause inInstructor contract
I am a a fairly new instructor that has been free lancing privately. I am not certified but have been pole danceing for three years, active in fitness and yoga. I very active in learning new techniques both in movement and instruction, and I consider myself a knowldgeable and responcible teacher.
Recently I was offered a job with a new local pole studio. The contract states that I am an independent contractor (theres a whole paragraph about it). Although I may not seek other gainful employment offering the same services publicly or privately while employed by the studio. And a 1 year non compete of pole or lap dance instruction within 250 mile radius of business upon termination. (which was originally 2years) They also reserve the right to terminate me at any time without cause.
(I had the studio/person insert a clause releasing rights to control my solicitations, images, % of income, etc as a performer)
Although this person has added some things such as my rights to my performance business, I'm wondering if she can even require such things and still hire me as an IC.
This is a new studio looking for me to help build a clientele.
Opinions please,
I know… "get a lawyer" already looking into that
