Common Questions

Is this suitable for all types of contractors?

Yes! Our AI customizes the agreement based on your specific needs - whether it's for IT contractors, consultants, tradespeople, creative professionals, or any other type of independent contractor. The system asks targeted questions to ensure all relevant clauses are included.

How is this different from free templates online?

Free templates are generic, often outdated, and may not comply with Australian law. Our agreements are lawyer-reviewed, constantly updated for law changes, and customized to your specific situation. Plus, we include provisions that free templates miss, like proper IP assignment and sham contracting protections.

Can I use this for overseas contractors?

Yes, our system asks about the contractor's location and includes appropriate provisions for international contractors, including currency specifications, governing law clauses, and tax considerations for cross-border payments.

What if I need to make changes later?

You receive your agreement in Word format, so you can make edits anytime. We also provide guidance on which sections can be safely modified. For major changes, you can generate a new agreement anytime.
