Don’t hire a contractor without using a Contractor Agreement template!
A clear and simple Contractor Agreement will ensure you and your contractor are “on the same page” – whatever services the contractor is providing: specialist advice, technical skills, project management, etc.
The Legal123 template works for business owners and contractors
Use the “Purchasing the Service” option if you’re a business owner and hiring a contractor.
Use the “Providing the Service” option if you’re a contractor and offering your services to businesses.
Both versions enable you to agree on the details – deliverables, schedule, deadlines and payment. Plus includes protections for both parties – IP ownership, confidentiality, warranties and limitation of liabilities.
Quick and easy online form
Just input some basic information into the template – contractor name and address and a description of the services to be performed – then click ‘generate’ and your Contractor Contract is automatically downloaded, in PDF format. The agreement is written in plain English, so it’s easy to understand.
You can be done in less than 10 minutes!
Online video instructions and telephone support
There’s a short online video with instructions on how to complete the online form. Plus there’s a “walk through” video stepping you through and explaining each clause of the agreement and a video covering 5 FAQs about hiring contractors.
And you can always call us if you have any questions.
Is the Contractor Agreement template right for me?
I’m hiring a contractor part-time …
You need to have an ‘arm’s length’ relationship with any contractor – otherwise, you’ll incur health, Superannuation, tax, etc. obligations for them. A Contractor Agreement will clarify the contractual relationship and ensure no ‘employee/employer’ relationship is implied.
I’m using Upwork or oDesk …
The Upwork and oDesk Terms of Service protect them, not you. You should use a contractor agreement template and have your own agreement with your contractor.
I’m a freelancer …
Providing your clients with a Contractor Agreement is a perfect opportunity to look professional and clarify deliverables, timelines and payment schedules.
I’m worried about keeping my idea secret …
Unless you have the right technical skills, you’ll need to hire a specialist. The Contractor Agreement includes confidentiality clauses to keep your ideas secret.
The Contractor Agreement template includes
- Business Owner version – Used if hiring a contractor to help you in your business. Specifies output expectations, warranty for work done, protects your business information, ensures you own the work on completion.
- Contractor version – Used if offering your services in a professional manner to clients. Clarifies your services offered, timing of deliverables, payment schedule and ensures your liability is limited.
- Unlimited use – One-time purchase, use it again and again.
- IP protection – Clause to safeguard the ownership of your intellectual property and copyright.
- Confidentiality – Clause to protect your business and personal information.
- Limitation of liability – Clause to limit your liability for loss or damage.
- Dispute resolution – Clause defining procedure in case of any disagreements.
- Updates – Customers are notified when there is a major change to the template.

What our clients say …
I needed insight and advice to help navigate through what to me were unchartered waters starting my first online business. And Vanessa delivered on both counts. But she also made me feel that it was as important to her as it was to me that we sorted out the best way forward and managed the embryonic relationships sensitively. Thank goodness I chose Legal123.
I purchased the Website Legal Package and paid a little bit more to have it customised to suit my unique needs. Legal123 were absolutely fantastic - very responsive and very helpful. I feel I got great value for money. My new web business now has all the Ts & Cs in place for just hundreds rather than thousands of dollars. I'll definitely turn to you the next time we require a legal template. Thank you!
After numerous conversations with some of Australia's leading Legal firms, I stumbled across Legal123. During the first few minutes of our conversation it was clear to me that Vanessa's knowledge around Website legalities was superior. Engaging Legal123 so early in the piece enabled our team to make many critical changes to the point where Vanessa now plays a pivotal role in our success. I couldn't recommend Legal123 more highly.
Outstanding. Love the speed and efficiency of getting the forms I needed!
Customer service is EXCEPTIONAL - great product to boot - saved us thousands.
Such a great model for obtaining business legal docs - if you know what you need, you can save serious money - customer service is fantastic as well.
Ease of use - Epic. Quality of products - Awesome. Support - Sensational. Will use them again - Are you kidding? Of course. Will recommend to friends - Already did!
Absolutely impressed with both the legal document package I purchased today and the subsequent customer service I received from Legal123 when I had an issue with the order. Great customer service and thanks heaps. You definitely made my day today.
I found the templates so easy and simple. Rather than spend hours on sites trying to determine what I needed, I simply purchased and uploaded and my site was finally ready to be launched. I would recommend this process to anyone.
