Document Overview
This Contractor Agreement (Company) allows you to hire a company as a contractor. It includes protection for intellectual property, confidentiality, non-solicitation, warranties, indemnities and insurance. Contractors are a great avenue for business' that want to tap into specialised, hard-to-find talent that might not otherwise be available or affordable.
Use this Contractor Agreement (Company) if:
- You are engaging the services of someone as a Contractor instead of an employee of the company;
- You want to ensure that the company owns any intellectual property that is developed by the independent contractor for the company; and
- You are looking to eliminate any confusion about each party’s rights and obligations.
The Legal Risk Score of a Contractor Agreement (Company) Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document allows the Contractor to use the Company's facilities and property at their own risk, potentially exposing the Contractor to liability for any damages that occur during use, unless caused by the Company’s actions.
- The Contractor is responsible for the complete financial and legal burden of their employees, including salaries, benefits, and compliance with employment laws, which could be financially and administratively challenging.
- The Contractor must ensure all created intellectual property during the service period is disclosed and automatically becomes the Company’s property, limiting the Contractor's rights to any innovations or developments they might create.

Fast and Reliable
Quick and easy to fill up. Would be good if there is a one time fee charged if would like to use lawpath again instead of monthly. Eg: $5 per documents. Would be affordable for companies who need to service
