Document background
The Developer Contract Agreement is essential for formalizing professional relationships in software development projects within the United States. This document is typically used when engaging independent developers or development firms for specific projects or ongoing development work. It addresses crucial aspects such as code ownership, confidentiality, payment structures, and project milestones while ensuring compliance with U.S. labor and intellectual property laws. The agreement provides necessary protection for both parties and sets clear expectations for project delivery and quality standards.
