Independent Contractor Agreement ( 15% Off on Total Bill )

What is an Independent Contractor Agreement?

An Independent Contractor Agreement is a contract between a freelancer and a company or client outlining the specifics of the work done together. The Independent Contractor Agreement is also referred to as Freelancing Agreement. An Independent Contractor Agreement ensures that all confidential information rights in relation to the project are secured.
A document detailing the commercial connection between a hiring firm and a contractor is known as an Independent Contractor Agreement (or, in cases, a freelancer). It is a legally binding, written contract that allows both parties to lay the groundwork for their working relationship and manage expectations. The scope of work, deliverables, compensation, deadlines, sensitive information, and any other aspects of the Independent Contractor relationship should all be covered in the contract.

Why Independent Contractor Agreement?

Warranties
The binding document or Independent Contractor Agreement is drafted in detail to meet the expectations of both parties and to avoid any misunderstandings.
Protects Rights
It secures the rights of both the Parties in case of any breach of the terms of the Agreement.
Flexible
Because contractors are self-employed, employing firms have no control over their working hours, how they do their tasks, or their ability to take on new customers.

Documents we need

Name and References
Identity Proof and other information of both parties
Scope of Work

Important Clauses

Benefits and liability exclusion
Although it may be obvious that the contractor is not the client's employee, it is important to mention in the Independent Contractor Agreement that independent workers are not entitled to the same benefits as employees. It can state that the contractor's social security, Medicare, worker's compensation, sick pay, vacation pay, pension, and other benefits are not covered by the customer.
Indemnification clause
The indemnity clause protects the customer against liabilities for the contractor's fees, charges, and judgments. It indicates that the contractor undertakes to hold the customer harmless for any damages or claims arising from the contractor's conduct. The provision primarily protects the customer from the legal ramifications of their contractor's actions.
Confidentiality
This clause specifically states that during the time period of the project, if there occurs any confidential information is being disclosed to the contractor, the contractor is liable to pay damages in the event of a breach of such confidential information to a third party.
Waiver Clause
The waiver clause acts as confirmation that the hiring company and the contractor have released all rights in the business connection. This must be done in writing, even though it is normal procedure.
Severability
The severability clause should state that if any sections of this agreement are found to be unenforceable or invalid, the rest of the contract remains unaffected. This implies that both parties use this clause to preserve their agreement by ensuring that it is still legitimate even if some elements of it are no longer valid.
Intellectual property and ownership
Working with contractors or freelancers necessitates the establishment of clear lines as to who owns the project's final product. If the customer owns any intellectual property produced by the contractor for the client, it must be included in the independent contractor agreement to avoid legal wrangling.
