COMMUNITY REVIEW REQUEST AI Contractor Agreement — Redacted for Privacy I just landed my biggest client — a 19-location franchise — and they sent me a fully drafted Master Services Agreement tonight with their signature already on it. Before I sign I want experienced eyes on a few clauses that concern me. Here are the specific items I'm pushing back on and why. The full redacted contract follows below. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════ THE THREE ITEMS IN QUESTION ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════ ───────────────────────────────────────────────── ITEM 1 — NON-COMPETE (Section 6.4) STATUS: Pushing back — too broad ───────────────────────────────────────────────── WHAT IT SAYS: For 24 months after the engagement ends, I cannot provide AI consulting, development, or implementation services to any business in the quick lube, oil change, or automotive preventive maintenance industry — in any state where the client currently operates or plans to operate. WHY IT'S A PROBLEM: - 24 months is a long time in a fast-moving industry - The automotive services space is one of my core target verticals - "Any state where they plan to operate" is vague — they're expanding, so this could cover more and more states over time - It's not just their direct competitors — it's the entire industry category MY PROPOSED COUNTER: Reduce to 12 months. Limit to direct quick lube and oil change competitors actively operating in the same specific markets as the client at the time of termination — not the entire industry across all states. QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY: - Is 12 months reasonable for this type of engagement? - Is market-specific language standard or will they push back hard? - Have any of you successfully negotiated non-competes down in service agreements? ───────────────────────────────────────────────── ITEM 2 — NO-REPLICATION CLAUSE (Section 6.5) STATUS: Pushing back — scope too wide ───────────────────────────────────────────────── WHAT IT SAYS:

Can someone please explain why I should use Cowork/ Code rather then Replit/Loveable/Base44? don’t see how, I’ve built several tools with Replit and to amazing detail. My concern with coworker is it’s only lives on my machine. How are other people gonna use it whereas with Replit they have a hosted website they can go to to use it.
