FAQ
Why is standard contract language insufficient for IP assignments?
Under U.S. Copyright law, independent contractors own their creations by default unless an agreement explicitly contains statutory "work made for hire" language AND an explicit present-tense assignment of future rights.
Does this contract protect my company when hiring overseas remote contractors?
Yes. It features international choice-of-law and forum selection clauses, as well as worldwide assignment provisions that prevent extraterritorial IP retention by offshore personnel.
How does this mitigate 1099 independent contractor misclassification risk?
The agreement strictly regulates control indicators, establishing contractor behavioral independence, dedicated facilities, tooling, and non-exclusivity in accordance with IRS common-law guidelines.
Can I reuse the SOW template across multiple distinct projects?
Yes. The Standard and Premium packages decouple the Master terms from the Statement of Work, allowing you to generate new SOWs for subsequent projects without re-negotiating master legal terms.
How do I outline custom termination and acceptance terms?
You will indicate your payment structures (hourly, retainer, or milestone acceptance) and notice termination requirements within the initial onboarding form.
