This is what's known as a "do not complete" clause.

If you're not sure what this means or how it might impact you in the future, then I would strongly recommend that you get a consult with an employment lawyer who can explain this - as well as review the rest of your contract.

This isn't an immigration matter. It's a situation where you need paid legal advice if you're not comfortable navigating this on your own.
