Document background
This Exclusive Contractor Agreement is designed for use in the Belgian market when a company wishes to secure dedicated services from an independent professional while maintaining compliance with Belgian legal requirements. The document is particularly relevant when organizations need to engage specialized talent on an exclusive basis without creating an employment relationship. It carefully addresses the distinctive aspects of Belgian contractor law, including social security requirements, tax obligations, and the clear delineation between independent contractors and employees. The agreement includes comprehensive provisions for exclusivity, intellectual property rights, data protection under GDPR, and specific Belgian commercial law requirements. This template should be used when engaging contractors who will work exclusively for one client, requiring careful attention to contractor classification under Belgian law to avoid potential misclassification risks.
