Document background
The Simple Independent Contractor Agreement is designed for use in the Netherlands when engaging independent contractors (zelfstandigen zonder personeel or ZZP'ers) for professional services. This document is essential for businesses seeking to formalize contractor relationships while ensuring compliance with Dutch regulations, particularly the Wet DBA (Deregulering Beoordeling Arbeidsrelaties). The agreement includes provisions that clearly establish the contractor's independent status, helping prevent potential classification as an employment relationship. It should be used when engaging individual professionals or their personal services companies for specific projects or ongoing services, where the contractor maintains independence in their work methods and has multiple clients. The document addresses key areas such as scope of services, payment terms, intellectual property rights, and liability while incorporating specific Dutch legal requirements.
