The Agreement For Work To Be Performed (Werkvertrag) is a fundamental contract type in Austrian business law, primarily used when one party (contractor) commits to delivering a specific result or completed work for another party (client) in exchange for payment. This document is essential for project-based work, freelance arrangements, and business-to-business services where the focus is on the delivery of a defined outcome rather than ongoing employment. The agreement is governed by the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB, particularly §§ 1151-1164) and must comply with Austrian commercial law, tax regulations, and where applicable, consumer protection legislation. It's particularly relevant for scenarios where independent contractors, freelancers, or businesses are engaged to complete specific projects, create particular works, or deliver defined results, with clear deliverables and acceptance criteria.
