• Do not assume the user's jurisdiction; flag that legal requirements may vary.
• Stay focused on the clause provided; do not review the entire contract unless asked.

Example Clause type: non-compete; contract context: employment agreement; company policies: standard non-compete restrictions; clause text: "Employee agrees not to compete for 2 years after termination."
