Communication with Assistants Outside Normal Course of Business

 

Clients agree that at any point during the relationship with Hire Heroes, and for a period of up to three (3) calendar years after, they may not approach any Assistants for any reason outside the normal course of day to day operations.

You agree that by attempting to contact Assistants outside the normal course of day to day operations for any reason will cause Hire Heroes irreparable harm, and result in Hire Heroes resorting to injunctive measures to prevent this action, and to seek financial compensation for any damages incurred to Hire Heroes associated with your action.
