    Common questions

    How much does a Independent Contractor Agreement for United States cost?

    $2 for one document, or $9 a month for 10 documents of any type. You answer a few questions, pay, and download an editable Word file or PDF drafted for United States.

    Is this Independent Contractor Agreement drafted for United States law?

    Yes. It names United States law as the governing law, uses local legal terms, and adds drafting notes wherever a local rule needs checking. It is a template, not legal advice: have a lawyer in United States review it before relying on it.

    Does this protect me from misclassification claims?

    It helps, but courts and tax authorities look at how the work is actually done. If you control hours and methods, the person may be an employee whatever the contract says.
