You can't compel them to send you a copy: one party to a contract (a non-competition agreement is a contract) is not required to send a copy to the other party. If they do claim you violated it, to take legal action, they will have then furnish a copy, so at least you willl thenhave the information you need to defend yourself, but you can't require them to send you a copy in advance of, or in the absence of, any litigation; there is no legal mechanism to get out outside of litigation.
