You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

There are various non compete agreements that can be signed with the suppliers. What inducement can you give them, however, that would make them want to sign one? Usually they are not signed gratitiously after a relationship has begun. You should speak with an attorney about what can be drafted and how it should be handled.
