Do dominant vendors in a space ever force customers to sign non-competes?
Can non-compete agreements limit a customer's ability to seek better deals from other vendors?
Yes, that's a common way in which non-compete agreements can restrict a customer's freedom to choose their preferred vendors. By only allowing them to work with a single vendor, the customer might be stuck with suboptimal pricing or quality, as they wouldn't be able to explore other options.
