Service / Independent Contractor Agreement, Thailand
Thai law calls this hire of work: the contractor promises a result and controls how it is achieved. Get that line wrong and a ‘contractor’ becomes an employee with severance rights of up to 400 days of wages. This bilingual agreement keeps the relationship clearly on the contractor side and nails down the three things freelance disputes are made of: what exactly must be delivered, when it counts as accepted, and who owns the work product.
