# RESTRICTIVE COVENANT REMINDER LETTER

Date: 4 April 2031

Parties: Asterfield Analytics Limited and Daniel Price

## 1. Purpose and parties

Asterfield Analytics Limited writes to Daniel Price, whose employment as Senior Account Manager ends by agreement on 30 April 2031. The letter records a practical reminder of the post-termination clauses in his 2027 employment contract; it is not a new restraint or an allegation of wrongdoing.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

Clause 14 protects confidential information and trade secrets. Clause 15 prevents solicitation of customers with whom Daniel had material dealings during the last six months, for six months after termination, and clause 16 prevents solicitation of specified colleagues for the same period. There is no blanket ban on working for a competitor.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

Asterfield asks Daniel to return devices and copies of customer lists, keep confidential information secure, and direct any approach from a protected customer to the company. Daniel may work elsewhere and use his general skills. The company will identify the current schedule of protected customers rather than asserting that every market contact is covered.

## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards

The company encloses the signed contract, an exit checklist and a neutral list of accounts falling within the stated definition. IT will record return or deletion of data, preserve access logs proportionately and restrict the list to people who need it. Personal data will be handled under the company's privacy notice.

## 5. Review, escalation and outcome

If Asterfield believes a specific breach has occurred, it will provide particulars and invite a response before seeking urgent relief where appropriate. The parties may discuss clarification or a release in writing. A breach allegation is not proof, and the company will not threaten proceedings merely because Daniel joins a competitor.

## 6. Reservations and practical protections

The reminders are subject to the court's assessment of legitimate interests, reasonableness, duration, scope and public policy. No term is intended to restrain more than reasonably necessary or to prevent Daniel earning a living. Daniel may obtain independent advice and the letter does not waive either party's rights.

## 7. England and Wales law and completion

England and Wales law governs the contract. This reminder is sent on 4 April 2031 by post to Daniel's last notified address and by email to daniel.price@example.test, each an alternative permitted service method. Asterfield's HR director signs and Daniel may acknowledge receipt without admitting liability.
