CRITICAL OKLAHOMA NOTE — Non-Compete Restrictions: Under 15 O.S. § 217, "every contract by which anyone is restrained from exercising a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind" is void to that extent. Oklahoma's prohibition is among the strongest in the nation. Narrow exceptions exist under 15 O.S. §§ 218–219B (sale of business goodwill, partnership dissolution, certain technology-related employment) but are strictly construed. Do not include non-compete covenants in this Agreement unless a statutory exception applies. Non-disclosure and non-solicitation provisions are permissible when reasonable.
15. CONFIDENTIALITY
15.1 Definition
"Confidential Information" means all non-public business, technical, financial, or proprietary information disclosed by one Party to the other in connection with this Agreement, including trade secrets under the Oklahoma Uniform Trade Secrets Act (78 O.S. §§ 85–92).
15.2 Obligations
The Receiving Party shall: (a) use Confidential Information solely for this Agreement; (b) protect with reasonable care; and (c) not disclose to third parties without consent, except to bound employees, agents, or contractors with a need to know.

15.5 Duration
Confidentiality obligations survive for [____] years after termination. Trade secret obligations continue as long as the information qualifies as a trade secret under 78 O.S. § 86.
15.6 Remedies
Breach may cause irreparable harm. The Disclosing Party may seek injunctive relief without bond (to the extent permitted) and damages under 78 O.S. §§ 87–89 (actual damages and unjust enrichment).
16. TITLE RETENTION AND SECURITY INTERESTS

20.13 Non-Compete / Restrictive Covenant Notice
CRITICAL OKLAHOMA WARNING (15 O.S. § 217): Every contract restraining anyone from exercising a lawful profession, trade, or business is void to that extent. Oklahoma's ban is among the broadest in the nation. The only exceptions — sale of business goodwill (§ 218), partnership dissolution (§ 219), and limited technology-related employment agreements (§§ 219A–219B) — are construed strictly by Oklahoma courts. Any non-compete provision in this Agreement is presumptively unenforceable. Non-disclosure and non-solicitation of employees provisions are enforceable when reasonable in scope and duration.
20.14 Oklahoma Tax Compliance
Oklahoma imposes sales/use tax on tangible personal property. Manufacturing exemptions require a valid Manufacturer's Exemption Permit renewed every three years (68 O.S. § 1359). Buyer shall provide all required permits and indemnify Seller for tax liability from invalid permits.

About This Template
A contract is a written record of what two or more parties agreed to and what happens if someone does not follow through. Clear language, defined terms, and clean signature blocks keep disputes small and enforceable. The most common mistakes in contracts come from vague promises, missing details about timing or payment, and skipping standard protective clauses like governing law and dispute resolution.
