freelance contract
Independent work deal
A freelance contract is a written agreement between an independent worker and a client, specifying the scope of work, payment terms, deadlines, and ownership of deliverables.
Unlike employment contracts, freelance contracts establish the worker as self-employed rather than an employee: Make sure you have a freelance contract before starting the project.
They typically address intellectual property rights, revision limits, and termination conditions.
