A: In California, and generally anywhere else, a "Non-Circumvention Agreement" or "Non-Solicitation Agreement" could be implemented to prevent customers from directly engaging with your seller and vice versa. This type of contract aims to protect your business relationships and prevent parties from bypassing you to work directly with each other.

A: To prevent direct interactions between customers and sellers, you would typically implement a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or a Confidentiality Agreement. This agreement would outline the terms under which information and relationships are to be kept confidential, preventing customers from reaching out to sellers and vice versa. However, specific contract language and conditions should be carefully drafted to ensure enforceability under California law.
