An Oregon independent contractor agreement is used to relay the terms and conditions of a business relationship between a freelance worker and a hiring party (the “client”). The agreement sets forth the key details of the arrangement, including how the worker will be paid (e.g., hourly, upon completion), the timeframe allowed for the work, termination policies, and whether the contractor will be reimbursed for work-related expenses. For the client, the document provides legal protection against liability incurred by the contractor’s work and it assigns the responsibility of obtaining liability insurance to the contractor.
