Frequently Asked Questions
When should I include an additional clause?This section is optional and should only be used if you wish to include terms that have not already been addressed in the Independent Contractor Agreement.The goal is to avoid ambiguity. Use complete sentences and avoid abbreviations.

Avoid using personal names and pronouns (we, us, you, they) and instead use the "Client" or the "Contractor".

Make sure to proofread your clause.Construction contracts in Texas cannot require a Sub-Contractor to indemnify the General Contractor against harm caused by the General Contractor's own negligence. Nor can a Sub-Contractor be required to carry insurance for that purpose.
