Non-compete clauses are specially mentioned in a franchise agreement to ensure that any sensitive or confidential information or secret is not compromised to any outside authority by the franchisee without the authorization of the franchisor, and to ensure that this clause is obeyed properly, the franchise agreement shall properly distinguish in it that which information is confidential and which is not. No matter in which category the information falls, an important point to note is that every piece of information shall be discussed in as much detail as possible and in a simplified manner which both the franchisor and the franchisee understand and agree to after mutual discussions.
