Freelancer
Agreement.

Last Updated

July 23, 2026

This Freelancer / Independent Contractor Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between F9XR Team and any freelancer, contractor, or vendor providing services. It governs the working relationship, protects client relationships, confidential information, and intellectual property, and incorporates our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Service Agreement by reference.

01

Independent Contractor

The Freelancer is an independent contractor, not an employee of F9XR Team. No benefits, taxes, or employment rights are provided. The Freelancer is solely responsible for their own tax filings, insurance coverage, and legal compliance under applicable laws.

Nothing in this agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship. The Freelancer retains full discretion over their work schedule, methods, and tools, as long as project deadlines in the Statement of Work are met.

The Freelancer shall provide all equipment, software, and resources necessary to perform the agreed services, unless otherwise specified in the SOW. F9XR Team does not reimburse for overhead, travel, or operational costs unless explicitly agreed in writing.

For more on service expectations, refer to our Service Agreement and Terms of Service.

02

Scope of Work

The specific deliverables, timeline, and fees shall be defined in a separate Statement of Work (SOW) or project brief issued by F9XR Team. Each SOW becomes part of this agreement once signed by both parties.

Any work outside the agreed scope requires a new SOW and additional compensation. The Freelancer shall not begin work on any out-of-scope task without written approval from F9XR Team.

Each SOW must include: project description, deliverables, milestone schedule, acceptance criteria, compensation terms, and any special conditions. Ambiguities in the SOW should be clarified in writing before work begins.

Deliverable acceptance criteria follow our standard outlined in the Service Agreement.

03

Non-Solicitation of Clients

Client Protection

During the term and for 24 months after termination, the Freelancer shall not directly or indirectly solicit, contact, or provide services to any client or customer of F9XR Team that the Freelancer interacted with or learned about through their engagement.

This includes, but is not limited to, offering competing services, redirecting work to themselves, or encouraging a client to terminate their relationship with F9XR Team. This obligation is essential to protecting the client relationships F9XR Team has built.

If the Freelancer is approached by an F9XR Team client for independent work, the Freelancer must notify F9XR Team within 48 hours and decline the engagement unless F9XR Team provides written consent.

This obligation is further described in our Terms of Service.

04

No-Poach / Staff Solicitation

The Freelancer shall not, during the term and for 12 months after termination, recruit, hire, or solicit any employee, contractor, or affiliate of F9XR Team known to them through this engagement.

This includes any attempt to induce a team member to leave F9XR Team or to engage them for services outside this agreement. If approached by an F9XR Team member regarding outside work, the Freelancer must promptly notify F9XR Team.

Violations of this clause may result in immediate termination and may subject the Freelancer to legal action for damages, including the cost of replacing solicited personnel.

05

Confidentiality

The Freelancer agrees to hold all confidential information — including client lists, project details, business processes, login credentials, proprietary tools, pricing strategies, and trade secrets — in strict confidence.

Confidential information may only be used to perform obligations under this agreement and must not be disclosed to any third party without prior written consent from F9XR Team. This obligation survives termination of this agreement indefinitely.

Upon request or agreement termination, the Freelancer must return or destroy all confidential materials in their possession, including copies, notes, and derivative works. The Freelancer must provide written certification of destruction upon request.

The Freelancer shall implement reasonable security measures to protect confidential information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss during the term of engagement.

For more detail on data handling, refer to our Privacy Policy.

06

Work Made for Hire

All deliverables are “work made for hire.”

Upon full payment, F9XR Team owns all rights, title, and interest in the work product, including all copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and intellectual property. The Freelancer waives all moral rights and agrees to execute any documents necessary to perfect this transfer.

If any deliverable is determined not to qualify as work made for hire, the Freelancer hereby assigns all rights to F9XR Team irrevocably and perpetually. The Freelancer retains no license to use, reproduce, display, or distribute the work product without written permission from F9XR Team.

The Freelancer represents that all work product is original and does not infringe upon any third-party intellectual property rights. The Freelancer shall indemnify F9XR Team against any claims arising from IP infringement.

IP assignment terms are further detailed in our Service Agreement.

07

Payment Terms

Fees, milestones, and due dates will be outlined in the SOW. Invoices must be submitted upon milestone completion. Payment is due within 15 days of invoice approval by F9XR Team.

No work shall begin without a signed SOW. Late payments may incur a 1.5% monthly finance charge. F9XR Team reserves the right to withhold payment for deliverables that do not meet the agreed specifications.

Payments are made via bank transfer, UPI, or other methods specified in the SOW. The Freelancer is responsible for providing accurate billing information and applicable tax documentation.

For billing disputes, refer to our Refund & Cancellation Policy and Shipping & Delivery Policy.

08

Limited Non-Compete

During the term of this agreement, the Freelancer shall not provide substantially similar services to any direct competitor of F9XR Team in the same geographic market, as defined in the SOW.

This restriction is limited to services that are materially the same as those being provided under this agreement. The Freelancer remains free to serve clients in unrelated industries or geographies.

The non-compete scope is narrowly tailored to protect F9XR Team’s legitimate business interests. Any ambiguity in the definition of “competitor” or “substantially similar services” shall be resolved in favor of the Freelancer.

If you have questions about what constitutes a competing service, review our Terms of Service for guidance.

09

Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement with 7 days’ written notice. F9XR Team shall pay for all work completed and delivered up to the termination date that meets the agreed specifications.

F9XR Team may terminate immediately if the Freelancer breaches any material term, including confidentiality, non-solicitation, or IP obligations. The surviving obligations (confidentiality, non-solicitation, IP assignment, liability limits) remain in full force after termination.

Upon termination, the Freelancer must return all F9XR Team property, access credentials, and confidential materials within 7 business days. Failure to comply may result in legal action.

General terms governing service termination are in our Terms of Service and Service Agreement.

10

Limitation of Liability

F9XR Team’s total liability under this agreement shall not exceed the fees paid to the Freelancer under the applicable SOW. Neither party shall be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.

This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, or otherwise) and survives termination. The Freelancer acknowledges that they have had the opportunity to obtain insurance covering their liability under this agreement.

Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from causes beyond their reasonable control, including natural disasters, government actions, pandemic restrictions, or infrastructure failures.

For complete liability disclaimers, see our Terms of Service.

11

Governing Law

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising from this agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Hyderabad, Telangana.

The Freelancer agrees to attempt informal resolution before pursuing legal action. If a dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days of written notice, either party may seek remedies as provided by law.

In the event of legal proceedings, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the non-prevailing party.

12

Entire Agreement

This Freelancer Agreement, together with the applicable SOW and the documents referenced below, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements, or understandings.

This agreement may not be modified except by a written amendment signed by both parties. No waiver of any term shall be deemed a waiver of any other term.

If any provision of this agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
