Soliciting workers after you leave a company

Below is a clause from an MLM company. They continually refer to the ''Distributor''. It does not say anything about after you leave as a distributor, and yet they are trying to tell me I can't talk to people I use to work with about my new business. IS THIS TRUE? They have threatened me with legal action.

10. SOLICITATION OF SCENT-SATIONS DISTRIBUTORS PROHIBITED: Distributors may be active in other businesses but are expressly prohibited from soliciting or sponsoring any Scent-Sations customers or distributors to those businesses. Distributors shall not offer the Scent-Sations business opportunity in conjunction with any non Scent-Sations business opportunity or incentive. Distributors shall not use names, addresses, e-mail addresses, or phone numbers of Scent-Sations customers or distributors as mailing or contact list to market any non Scent-Sations products, services or business opportunity. If a distributor is found to be soliciting any Scent-Sations distributor for another business opportunity, the distributor risks having all distributor rights and privledges immediately revoked and will forfeit their downline, any current or future commissions due, and possible legal action.
