freelance agreements

Gig worker contracts

Freelance agreements are contracts between independent workers and clients that define the terms of a project or engagement.

They typically specify deliverables, payment terms, deadlines, and ownership of work product.

Unlike employment contracts, freelance agreements establish the worker as an independent contractor rather than an employee: Make sure the freelance agreement covers revisions and kill fees.
