Parties This contract is made between: {Company Name} ({Company Name}, us, our, we) AND {Name} (the Contractor, you, your), together, the parties. 2. Term This contract shall commence on {date} and shall continue until {date} unless terminated earlier by either party in accordance with this contract (the Term). The parties may agree in writing to extend the Term or enter into a new contract, but confirm that there is no expectation of any arrangement beyond the Term. 3. Independent contractor The relationship between the Contractor and {Company name} is that of an independent contractor and nothing expressed or implied herein shall constitute the relationship of employer and employee between the parties. The Contractor is not {Company Name}s agent or representative, and will not act in any way that may or does cause any person or entity to believe that the Contractor is an agent or representative of {Company Name}, unless {Company Name} gives its prior consent in writing. 4. Services The Contractor will deliver the services set out in Schedule A to this contract (the Services), and any services incidental to the Services, on the terms set out in this contract. 5. Contractors obligations The Contractor will comply with any timeframes specified in Schedule A and will work such days and hours as are necessary to provide the Services in accordance with this contract. The Contractor will, in the performance of the Services: (a) at all times promote and protect {Company Name}s interests and reputation; (b) comply with all reasonable and lawful directions; (c) comply with {Company Name}s policies and procedures, which may be varied from time to time; and (d) carry out the Contractors obligations under this contract in a prompt, efficient and diligent manner consistent with good professional practices and standards, and use all reasonable care, attention and skill in the performance of those obligations. The Contractor will, at the Contractors cost, correct any errors, omissions, defects or faults in the Services which are notified by {Company Name} in writing during the Term. 6. Remuneration The Contractor shall be remunerated for timely delivery of the Services in accordance with the remuneration schedule set out in Schedule B to this contract. It is agreed that the payments set out in the remuneration schedule are all inclusive, and {Company name} holds no responsibility or liability for meeting any additional payments over and above the agreed payments set out in Schedule B. Without affecting the generality of this provision, the Contractor acknowledges that there is no entitlement to payment from {Company name} for injury, sickness, superannuation, holidays, redundancy or overtime. If the Contractor does not provide the Services within the time limits and standards as reasonably required by {Company name}, the Contractors fee may be reduced by agreement or, failing agreement, by such amount as {Company name} considers reasonable in the circumstances. 7. Payment for delivery of services The Contractor will provide {Company name} with an invoice that details the Services delivered during the course of the month at the end of each month, or as otherwise agreed between the parties. All invoices provided will be compliant with the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985. Payment will be made by {Company name} on the {date}th of the month following receipt of the Contractors invoice. 8. Tax The Contractor is responsible for, and will pay on time and in full, all taxes and other levies (including income tax, GST and accident compensation levies). 9. Equipment The Contractor shall provide all his or her own equipment at his or her own cost in providing the Services. [or, delete as applicable] The Contractor may make reasonable use of {Company Name}s equipment in providing the Services. 10. No assignment This contract is personal to the Contractor and may not be assigned or sub-contracted unless with the prior written approval of {Company Name}. 11. Reporting The Contractor is, on a monthly basis and at other times upon request, to provide a progress report directly to {title and name} who in turn will provide a monthly progress report to {title and name}. The Contractor will not be supervised on a day-to-day basis. 12. Termination Either party may terminate this contract by providing one months notice of termination in writing. {Company name} may terminate this contract with immediate effect by providing written notice if the Contractor: (a) breaches this contract, fails or is unable to perform the Services, does not comply with a specified time limit, or is negligent in the performance of the Services, and, if asked to rectify the situation, does not do so within the time limit specified by {Company Name} in writing; (b) commits any act or is subject to any proceeding, which, in {Company Name}s reasonable opinion, has brought or may bring {Company Name} into disrepute; (c) is subject to any form of solvency administration including bankruptcy, receivership or liquidation; or (d) fails to pay any taxes or levies in full and on time, or is the subject of any investigation or proceeding undertaken by the Inland Revenue Department. 13. Conflict of interest The Contractor will not, without {Company Name}s prior written consent, provide services to any other person or entity or be involved or interested in any employment, activity or business where that conflicts or may conflict with the interests of {Company Name} or interferes or may interfere with the Contractors ability to perform the Services. 14. Confidential information and property The terms of this contract shall remain confidential to the parties. In the course of this contract it is acknowledged that the Contractor may acquire confidential information relating to {Company Name}. The Contractor shall keep this confidential information strictly confidential at all times including both during and after the termination of this contract. The Contractor agrees never to use the information or attempt to use it for its own personal gain or the gain of any other person. The Contractor acknowledges that any work and intellectual property created or arising during the term of this contract is and shall remain the exclusive property of {Company name}. {Company name} shall be entitled to any copyright, merchandising, or other proprietary rights in or arising from such work. Upon termination of this contract, or upon request, the Contractor will promptly deliver to {Company Name} all {Company Name} property and all documents, records or papers in the Contractors possession or under the Contractors control, including any copies or electronic versions, which relate in any way to the business or affairs of {Company Name}. To avoid doubt, the obligations in this clause will continue to apply after the Term, and regardless of any dispute. 15. Indemnity The Contractor will keep {Company Name} indemnified against any loss, expense, damages or compensation which {Company Name} incurs or is required to pay (including without limitation any legal fees or amount paid by way of settlement) in relation to any claim which is threatened, notified or commenced against {Company Name} and which arises directly or indirectly out of any wilful or negligent act or omission of the Contractor in the course of performing the Services. This indemnity will continue to apply after termination of this contract. 16. Dispute resolution If a dispute arises, the parties will meet in good faith to try and resolve the dispute informally. If the dispute has not been resolved within 14 days after the dispute has been notified by a party in writing, either party may give the other written notice requiring the parties to try and resolve the dispute at mediation. The parties will agree on a mediator or, if agreement cannot be reached within seven days after notice has been given, a mediator will be appointed by LEADR New Zealand Incorporated (Lawyers Engaged in Alternative Dispute Resolution). Unless the parties agree otherwise, the mediation will take place within 21 days after a mediator has been appointed and the costs of the mediation, excluding the parties costs, will be shared equally. If the parties do not resolve their dispute at mediation, they may agree in writing to resolve their dispute by arbitration before a single arbitrator. In that event: (a) the arbitrator will be appointed by agreement or, failing agreement within seven days after the parties have agreed to arbitration, by LEADR New Zealand Incorporated; (b) the costs of arbitration, excluding the parties costs, will be shared equally, unless the arbitrator determines otherwise; (c) the Second Schedule to the Arbitration Act 1996 will not apply; and (d) the arbitrator will determine the place and procedure for the arbitration. The parties agree that the existence of any dispute between them and the information relating to any dispute will, subject to this contract, remain strictly confidential. 17. Entire agreement of the parties It is agreed by both parties that this contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and replaces any previous agreements and understandings. Any variation of this contract must be agreed and signed by both parties in writing.
