The Legal Risk Score of a Contractor Agreement (Individual) Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The agreement places the responsibility of maintaining confidentiality solely on the contractor, which could pose a risk if sensitive information is inadvertently disclosed without proper safeguards from the company's side.
- The contractor is required to handle all legal compliance and associated costs, which might expose them to unforeseen expenses and liabilities if regulatory requirements change or are interpreted differently.
- The document stipulates that the contractor must perform the services personally unless otherwise agreed in writing, limiting the contractor's flexibility to manage their workload and potentially affecting their ability to take on other projects.
