Screwed on the Dotted Line: How to Avoid bullsh*t Contracts that Hurt

Presented at ShellCon 2020 Virtual, Oct. 10, 2020, 3 p.m. (55 minutes).

Non-Disclosure, IP Rights Assignment, and Non-Compete agreements are staples of the technology world. But do you understand what you're signing? What makes these agreements good, bad, or ugly? In this talk, we look at why these agreements exist, and some common terms and conditions. We'll show you how to evaluate them before you sign, defend against an exploitative agreement, and share some stories about agreements gone right…and wrong.
