Document background
The Freelance Project Contract is essential for businesses and individuals in the Philippines engaging independent contractors for specific projects or services. This document is particularly relevant given the growing gig economy and the increase in remote work arrangements in the Philippines. It provides a legal framework that complies with Philippine law, including the Civil Code, Labor Code, and relevant electronic commerce regulations. The contract clearly defines the project scope, deliverables, payment terms, and intellectual property rights while explicitly establishing an independent contractor relationship rather than employment. It includes necessary provisions for data protection, confidentiality, and dispute resolution, making it suitable for both local and international clients engaging Filipino freelancers.
