Before participating in the franchised boot camp company’s program, you are required to sign a document that includes the following non-compete clause:
I understand that I may not open my own Boot Camp or divulge program information within 3 years after signing this document and/or attending Boot Camp operated by [franchised boot camp company].
Non-compete clauses are incredibly difficult (almost impossible) to enforce in Canada, and no judge in this country would ever enforce such a ridiculous clause as restricting someone from opening their own boot camp for 3 years after simply participating in another company’s boot camp program.
It’s laughable that the franchised boot camp company is so threatened by competition that they would actually include such an absurd and unenforceable clause in their registration agreement.
