Freelance Contract for North Dakota

North Dakota legal context

North Dakota applies the IRS-style common-law right-to-control test for classification. Like California and Montana, North Dakota broadly voids non-competes under N.D.C.C. § 9-08-06. Confidentiality clauses tied to trade secret protection remain enforceable. The North Dakota UTSA (§§ 47-25.1-01 et seq.) protects trade secrets.
