# ZERO-HOURS EXCLUSIVITY OPT-OUT NOTICE
Date: 9 June 2032
Parties: Daniel Reed and Brightside Events Ltd
## 1. Purpose and parties
Daniel Reed of 41 Grove Street, Manchester M14 5LE writes to Brightside Events Ltd, 12 Deansgate, Manchester M3 2BW, about his zero-hours worker agreement dated 2 January 2032. The agreement contains no guaranteed hours and permits Brightside to offer shifts that Daniel may accept or decline.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
Clause 7 says Daniel must not work for another business. Daniel gives written notice that he will not comply with that exclusivity restriction from 9 June 2032 and will accept work from other businesses. This notice does not end the agreement, reject shifts already accepted, or change Daniel's obligation to attend an accepted shift.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
Daniel will continue to tell Brightside promptly whether he accepts offered shifts and will give accurate availability. He will not use Brightside's confidential event plans, customer lists, uniforms or equipment for another business, and will not represent another business as Brightside. Nothing in this notice permits misuse of confidential information.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
Daniel has accepted Brightside shifts on 14 June from 16:00 to 22:00 and on 21 June from 10:00 to 18:00. He will attend those shifts unless the parties agree otherwise. He is also considering two café shifts on 17 and 24 June, which do not overlap; no other work has yet been accepted.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
The Working Time Regulations 1999 include protections concerning exclusivity terms for workers on contracts with no guaranteed hours. Daniel asks Brightside to update its records and confirm by 16 June that it will not refuse work, penalise him or threaten contractual action solely because he exercised this statutory protection. He makes no assertion about any separate lawful conflict or performance issue.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
Daniel requests that future offers and payslips continue through the existing portal and that any alleged breach be identified in writing with the relevant fact and clause. He will raise concerns through Brightside's grievance process and seek advice if necessary. He will not disclose client data or encourage colleagues to breach their own agreements.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
This completed fictional notice is dated 9 June 2032 and concerns England and Wales. It is a notice about an exclusivity term, not a resignation or guarantee of shifts. Daniel keeps delivery evidence and copies of the agreement and accepted rota; Brightside remains responsible for applying any other lawful terms consistently.
