I had a similar thing a few years ago. I asked my boss to get it clarified, which they did. However, he told me that the lawyers laughed and said I was doing myself a disservice, as the original agreement was so loose that it would have never been enforceable.

Most such clauses are unenforceable at the end of the day, but it doesn't make it any more fun to fight the fight, against an organization that has far more resources and a lot less to use.

Thank You! I'll also ask for clarification, just in case.
