Independent Contractor Agreement Example

About this example

This example is an independent contractor agreement between an event production company and a freelance audio technician who runs his own sole-proprietor business. It covers a year of work, but no event is binding until both sides confirm it by email, and it sets day rates, travel days, overtime and per diems for every booking.

Contractor agreements have to treat the contractor as an independent business, so this one says plainly that the technician controls how the work is done, uses his own tools, can work for others and handles his own taxes. It sets cancellation fees on both sides, insurance and safety duties, confidentiality and who owns show files. Schedules describe the role, list the rates and the dates already booked, and say what the contractor brings, ending with the first steps and the first show.

Who it is for

Event, production, construction and service companies that book freelancers for jobs, and freelancers who want clear terms before they accept work.
