FAQ
What's the difference between an employee and an independent contractor legally?
An independent contractor operates their own business, controls how they perform work, and is not entitled to employee benefits. Misclassifying an employee as a contractor triggers IRS penalties, back taxes, and potential labor law violations. This agreement uses legally defensible contractor
Why does a contractor agreement need an IP assignment clause?
Under US copyright law, work created by an independent contractor is NOT automatically owned by the hiring company — unlike employee work. Without a written IP assignment clause, the contractor retains legal ownership of everything they create, even if you paid for it. This agreement closes that gap
Can this agreement cover contractors working remotely from other states or countries?
Yes. The agreement is drafted to cover remote contractors regardless of location, with governing law set to your chosen US state. For international contractors, additional considerations may apply and I will note them in the compliance review included in the Premium package.
Does this agreement protect me from the contractor working with my competitors?
The Standard package includes a non-solicitation clause. The Premium package adds a full non-compete provision. The enforceability of non-competes varies by state, and I will draft the clause in accordance with your governing state's current legal standards.
Do I need a separate NDA if I have the Standard or Premium package?
No. The Standard and Premium packages include integrated confidentiality provisions that function as an NDA within the contractor agreement. However, if you need a separate standalone NDA for preliminary discussions before the contract is signed, that can be added as a gig extra.
