Non-compete in an independent contractor agreement
Non-competes can be valid if they are in an independent contractor agreement. Non-competes do not apply only to employees.
Whether or not your non-compete is too vague or broad to be enforceable requires an individual analysis, which would be essentially the same analysis as that applied to any other non-compete agreement.
