**Parties Involved:**
- **Plaintiff:** Valueselling Associates, LLC
- **Defendant:** Kevin Temple
**Background:**
Valueselling Associates, LLC, a business specializing in sales training and consulting services, initiated legal action against Kevin Temple, a former employee and consultant. The plaintiff alleges that Temple breached his contractual obligations, including non-disclosure and non-compete agreements, after leaving the company.

- **Plaintiff’s Arguments:** Valueselling Associates contends that the non-compete agreement was enforceable and necessary for protecting its business interests. The plaintiff seeks an injunction to prevent Temple from continuing to engage in activities that violate his agreements, as well as financial damages for losses attributed to his breach of contract.
- **Defendant’s Arguments:** Kevin Temple counters that the non-compete agreement is overly broad and restrictive, rendering it unenforceable. He argues that the information he utilized was not proprietary and that his current business activities do not directly compete with Valueselling Associates in a manner that would warrant legal action.
