§3.1 The employee agrees to a non-compete period of twenty-four (24) months across all industries nationwide, without additional compensation.
§5.2 The company reserves the sole right to determine acceptance of the deliverables at its discretion.
§8.4 Either party may terminate this agreement with 30 days written notice.
The biggest issues are a nationwide non-compete with no compensation, a unilateral acceptance right, and asymmetric penalty terms. Focus negotiation on §3.1, §5.2, and §12.
