INTERNATIONAL CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT

[// GUIDANCE: This agreement is for engaging non-US independent contractors to provide services to a US-based company. CRITICAL RISK: Misclassification of employees as contractors is a significant legal risk in most jurisdictions. Many countries have stricter tests than the US IRS tests. Before using this template, conduct a classification analysis for the contractor's jurisdiction. Consider using an Employer of Record (EOR) if the engagement resembles employment. This template assumes a true independent contractor relationship.]
