Legally Secure Your Contractor Engagements with Tailored Agreements
As businesses in India increasingly rely on freelancers, consultants, and gig professionals, having a well-structured Independent Contractor Agreement is critical to avoid worker misclassification, IP disputes, or payment conflicts. At Kontract Genie, we specialize in contractor agreement drafting services that clearly define service scope, payment terms, IP ownership, confidentiality, termination clauses, and regulatory compliance.
Whether you’re hiring a freelance software developer, marketing consultant, designer, or offshore professional, our legal agreements are customized to safeguard your interests and ensure smooth engagements under Indian law.
Elements Covered in Our Independent Contractor Agreements
- Scope of Services
Clearly define the services to be performed, delivery timelines, performance expectations, and reporting obligations.
- Payment & Invoicing Terms
Structure fixed fee, hourly, milestone-based, or retainer payments with tax provisions (TDS/GST) and invoicing rules.

Avoid employment classification risks by clearly declaring the contractor’s independent and non-employee status.
- Intellectual Property (IP) Ownership
Assign full rights of work product or inventions to your business or allow negotiated shared IP use, as needed.

Prevent data leaks or IP misuse with robust confidentiality clauses and duration-specific NDAs.
- Non-Solicitation & Conflict of Interest
Protect your clients, business contacts, and sensitive strategies with binding non-solicit and conflict-of-interest clauses.
- Work Location, Tools & Supervision
Clarify whether the contractor works remotely, uses client equipment, or operates with full independence.
- Tax & Legal Compliance
Ensure that the contractor is responsible for tax filing, GST registration, and regulatory compliance under Indian law.
