FAQ
Why isn't a basic NDA enough to protect my code or creative deliverables?
An NDA only safeguards confidentiality; it does not transfer intellectual property rights. Without explicit, formal assignment and "Work Made for Hire" language, the independent contractor remains the legal owner of the delive
How does this agreement address worker misclassification risks?
My agreements incorporate clear behavioral and financial control parameters that reflect IRS, Department of Labor, and common-law factors, showing an authentic independent contractor dynamic.
Can I use this agreement for international contractors?
Yes. The core provisions are designed to protect U.S. entities engaging international talent, establishing U.S. governing law and clear cross-border intellectual property assignments.
What is the advantage of using an MSA paired with an SOW?
A Master Services Agreement sets the overriding legal terms (liability, IP ownership, confidentiality) once. You can then quickly launch new projects or bring on additional talent simply by executing a new Statement of Work (SOW), saving time
Do these contracts include source code acceptance criteria?
Yes. The Premium software development suite features specific acceptance-testing clauses, code review windows, bug remediation mandates, and IP conveyance terms tied to project milestones.
