Quote Quoting Calhoun v. WHA Med. Clinic, PLLC, 178 N.C. App. 585, 597, 632 S.E.2d 563, 571 (2006) (quoting QSP, 152 N.C. App. at 176, 566 S.E.2d at 852), disc. rev. denied, 361 N.C. 350, 644 S.E.2d 5 (2007).
"Under North Carolina law, covenants not to compete are valid and enforceable if: `(1) in writing; (2) made part of a contract of employment; (3) based on valuable consideration; (4) reasonable both as to time and territory; and (5) not against public policy.'"
