Engage contractors with a clear, professional agreement that defines scope, payment, and IP ownership. AI customises it with your details — no Word editing needed.

What's Included

Intellectual Property

Assignment or licensing of IP created during the engagement, with clear ownership clauses.

Confidentiality

Protection of sensitive information shared during the contractor engagement.

Explicit statement that the relationship is principal-contractor, not employment, to avoid misclassification.
