Independent Contractor Agreement

$325.00

Description

Independent contractors can be a powerful arm of your creative business, but they’re not employees, so things can get a little confusing. Keep it simple with bulletproof legal explanations and expectations for all parties that are easy to read and understand.

Bringing on an independent contractor has unique legal challenges, but this contract template is written to cover all of your bases. With provisions for payment, clear-cut service expectations, copyright ownership and confidentiality details, your contractor will know exactly what’s required. Plus, a bonus indemnification clause can protect you from any liability that the independent contractor may bring up.

Simply fill in the blanks with your specific business information. We’ve included highlighted brackets so that you’ll easily know where to insert or edit the information to tailor the contract to your specific business. You also have the option to add or delete any provisions as you, the business owner, sees fit.
The templates come in Microsoft Word format so that you can lift specific provisions or the entire agreement and copy and paste or embed them in your favorite client management software.

Q. How Will the Contract(s) Be Delivered?

Each template is delivered immediately to your inbox in a Microsoft Word format for easy use. Along with your download, you’ll also receive a brief “Template User Guide,” which lays out step by step how to use each agreement.

Q. How Long Will It Take To Customize My Contract?

The contract templates have some blanks that you need to fill in and a few sections where you pick between different options. Depending on how far along you are in terms of thinking about your business process and procedure, it should not take you longer than 30 minutes to complete.

Q. How Long Is Each Template?

The templates vary in length depending on the industry and specific agreement. To make sure that your contract contains all of the essential legal provisions for your particular industry, most of the templates are at most 6 pages in length. Note that this might be shorter after you’ve customized the template to suit your business.

Q. Do I Have Lifetime Access to The Templates?

Yes! Upon purchase, you’ll receive an online link located at the top of your contract, which will provide you with access to the most up-to update version of whichever templates you’ve purchased.

Q. Can I use these even if I don’t live in your state?

These contract templates are drafted on general US-based common law contract principles and are easily editable and adaptable to many states. Due to variations in law based on location, the contract policies may be implemented for your business.

Q. Can I use these even if I live outside of the U.S.?

If you are a creative entrepreneur located outside the US, the policies may be implemented for your business. However, U.S. Federal Copyright laws and other legal theories may not apply. Instead of drafting your contract from scratch, the contract templates provide an excellent foundation for a local attorney in your country to amend the provisions to any specific laws of your country.

Q. Can I send in Contract Template Requests?

Of course! If there is a contract template that you’d like created and don’t see it on the shop yet, email us at [email protected] and let us know!
