COLORADO-SPECIFIC COMPLIANCE NOTES

Note 1: Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Restrictions (C.R.S. § 8-2-113). Effective August 10, 2022, Colorado law heavily restricts non-compete and non-solicitation agreements. Non-compete covenants are enforceable only (a) for the protection of Trade Secrets, and (b) with workers earning at or above the Highly Compensated Worker threshold ($112,500 for 2023, as adjusted annually by CDLE). Non-solicitation covenants are enforceable only with workers earning at least 60% of the threshold. Statutory notice requirements include providing the covenant in a separate document, in clear and conspicuous terms, signed by the worker, with notice provided to prospective workers before accepting employment and to current workers at least 14 days before the effective date. Penalties for violations include actual damages, $5,000 per worker, and injunctive relief. This Agreement does not contain non-compete covenants; territorial restrictions relate solely to commercial distribution rights.

Note 2: Colorado Uniform Trade Secrets Act (C.R.S. § 7-74-101 et seq.). CUTSA provides the framework for trade secret protection in Colorado. A trade secret is information that derives independent economic value from not being generally known and is subject to reasonable secrecy efforts. Remedies include injunctive relief, actual damages, unjust enrichment, and exemplary damages up to twice actual damages for willful and malicious misappropriation. The statute of limitations is three years.

Note 3: Colorado Privacy Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-1301 et seq.). Effective July 1, 2023, the CPA grants Colorado consumers rights including access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-out of targeted advertising, sale, and profiling. The CPA uses a Controller/Processor model. The Colorado Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority. Controllers must recognize universal opt-out mechanisms as of July 1, 2024. Data protection assessments are required for high-risk processing activities (C.R.S. § 6-1-1309).

Note 4: Data Breach Notification (C.R.S. § 6-1-716). Colorado requires notification to affected residents within 30 days of determination of a breach. Breaches affecting 500+ residents require AG notification. Breaches affecting 1,000+ residents require consumer reporting agency notification. Third-party agents must notify the covered entity in the most expedient time possible.

Note 5: Colorado Consumer Protection Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-101 et seq.). The CCPA prohibits deceptive trade practices, including false advertising, bait-and-switch, and other unconscionable conduct. The AG may seek injunctive relief and civil penalties. Private rights of action exist for consumers.

Note 6: Colorado UCC (C.R.S. Title 4). If Products constitute "goods," Colorado UCC Article 2 applies. Key provisions include implied warranties (§§ 4-2-314, 4-2-315), perfect tender (§ 4-2-601), and warranty disclaimer rules (§ 4-2-316).

Note 7: Electronic Signatures (C.R.S. § 24-71.3-101 et seq.). Colorado's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act validates electronic signatures and records in commercial transactions.

Note 8: Colorado Computer Crime (C.R.S. § 18-4-412). Unauthorized access to computer systems, including circumventing security controls, may constitute a criminal offense under Colorado law.
