*Contracting Agreement - Independent Contractor Terms
New. Any State/Territory in Australia. This Agreement is a template designed to properly spell out in general terms the relationship between a Principal, and an Independent Contractor. The agreement contains many standard terms requiring the contractor to respect intellectual property and confidentiality, to perform the services properly, to render tax invoices, and to not compete with the Principal, and so forth.
The "flexible" part of the template appears throughout the document in a "Form" style, where the party preparing the agreement (usually the Principal) will name the parties, describe the services to be performed, identify the workplace(s), define the fees to be paid, specify the frequency of invoices, identify the insurances the contractor should hold, specify the State whose laws apply, and so forth. This is the same document as shown in L-9156 and while it may be considered more "old fashioned" some contractors prefer it because it forces you to concentrate on the meanings and interpretations to which the changeable references apply before execution. (L-9157)
*Contracting Agreement - Independent Contractor Terms (follo
New. Any State/Territory in Australia. This Agreement is a template designed to properly spell out in general terms the relationship between a Principal, and an Independent Contractor. The agreement contains many standard terms requiring the contractor to respect intellectual property and confidentiality, to perform the services properly, to render tax invoices, and to not compete with the Principal, and so forth. The "flexible" part of the template appears in the "following" schedules (which makes them significant and central to understanding the basic agreement), where the party preparing the agreement (usually the Principal) will name the parties, describe the services to be performed, identify the workplace(s), define the fees to be paid, specify the frequency of invoices, identify the insurances the contractor should hold, specify the State whose laws apply, and so forth. This is the same document as shown in L-9157 but is considered more "modern" and some contractors prefer it because it is easier to complete because everything that needs to be entered to execute the agreement is in one place at the end of the document. A solicitor who is preparing for both sides and is intending to explain the "Terms" to both parties before getting them to complete and execute may find this format more in keeping with such a process. (L-9156)

This saves the parties the trouble and cost and time of having to enter into an array of contracts, all of which will adopt the same form.

This Service Contract is for a contractor who works regular hours like an employee and is paid a yearly fee, broken into monthly payments but who is not an employee.

It requires confidentiality for 7 years after completion. It fits nicely as the required Annexure in the Master Service Agreement (order implies contract) contract. The contract makes specific reference only to federal law and therefore can be used in any State. This includes reference to A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth), Acts Interpretation Act 1901 (Cth), Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) and Financial Transaction Reports Act 1988 (Cth).

Deed Poll - Confidentiality Declaration by subbie AllotherSt
New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory. A sub-contractor employed under a separate contract with the Contractor signs under Deed Poll an undertaking to keep confidential information supplied to him/her for work under the original Contract between the Principal and the Contractor. This is an interesting document. It uses the Deed Poll format so that the subbie can sign it without the need for formal sign off of three way agreements between the subby and the other two parties which are a hassle to obtain and provide little more than the Deed Poll. This way, the subbie can sign it off him/herself and all (s)he needs is a witness. Half of the deed describes details regarding the contract between the Principal and Contractor (under "I understand that ...") and the other half is made up of undertakings by the subbie (that "I will ..." and "I will not .."). This means that the original supply contract can be executed between the Principal and the Contractor to get the project under way and the Deed Poll can be executed later by the subcontractor. There is also a place for describing legal clauses from Acts and Regulations (such as the Crimes Act) that impact on confidentiality that can place the subbie under notice that fines or imprisonment might apply. By describing them here the subby is making sure that (s)he knows (and anybody reading the Deed knows that (s)he knows) what (s)he is entering into. (L-3362) non disclosure agreement (NDA)
