Independent Contractor Agreement

An Independent Contract is a formal agreement between a business or individual (the client) and a self-employed person or entity (the contractor) who provides specific services or completes a project. The contractor operates independently, without being considered an employee, meaning they handle their own taxes, insurance, and work processes.

Purpose: The purpose is to clearly define the scope of work, payment terms, deadlines, and responsibilities while ensuring both parties have legal protection. It establishes a professional relationship, outlines expectations, and avoids misunderstandings.
