I’m a software engineer and I’ve just started a freelancing career. My first contract was 2 page PDF directly with a client, states the duration, notice period, daily rate etc.
Now its about to end and I was approached by 2 agencies. Asked for their standard contract and they both gave me similar 40 pages monstrosities, with each paragraph contradicts another.
- They want both “obligation of result with highest industry standards” AND that I file the timesheet that should be approved by the client. Time & Material and result, pick one!
- They have absurd high (like fixed 50k) penalties everywhere including not filing timesheet correctly, not providing timely the insurance policy, late invoice etc.
- Uncapped liability for GDPR/Cybersec infringement.
- Vague non-compete not limited to specific customer.
Is it the industry standard for EU? Like praying they won’t simply decide to use it against you?
