Limitation of Liability Clause — NDA prevents me from getting new job

I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

NDA prevents me from getting new job. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 14 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $8,000.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the implied covenant of good faith years for this type of claim.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.
