Welke feedback heb je dan zoal al gekregen van die advocaat?
Ik was vooral verbaasd over de hoeveelheid clausules waarmee ikzelf initieel geen probleem mee had.
The contractor shall invoice the Company monthly and the Company shall pay all invoices submitted in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions within 10 days of receipt of invoice
En in die General Terms and Conditions staat er:
XXX reserves the right to withhold and/or delay payment where such funds for the Services performed have not been received by the (End) Client and/or where XXX has reason to believe that payment will not be received. In addition, XXX is permitted to pay the Supplier only upon receipt of the associated funds from the (End) Client.
Zoiets teken je dus niet.
Er zijn nog tal van andere mogelijkheden waarom de eindklant de intermediair niet kan of wil betalen, dat is jouw probleem niet.
Contractor shall ensure that during the term of this Agreement, its Consultant is at all relevant times medically, physically and mentally fit to carry out the duties to which they are assigned in respect of the Services, and shall comply with any requirements relating to medical fitness as may be required by Oliver James. Contractor shall notify Oliver James immediately of any changes to it or its Consultant’s health which could affect their ability to carry out the duties which they are assigned.
Volledig gescrapt, hun zaken niet, want geen werknemer.
The Contractor shall indemnify Oliver James for any Losses Oliver James incurs or suffers arising from any breach of this clause 10.
toevoegen: als kan bewezen worden dat je een fout hebt gemaakt. Zeker geen onbelangrijke nuance.
The Contractor shall indemnify Oliver James against any entitlement, claim or demand from third parties (including the (End) Client) against Oliver James, and against all damage, losses, costs, expenses and payments that Oliver James may suffer or incur in connection with the Contractor's failure to comply with the Agreement and/or with laws or regulations. Oliver James may set off this indemnification against payments that Oliver James shall make to the Contractor. The Contractor shall also indemnify Oliver James against any claim in respect of taxes and/or national insurance contributions brought against Oliver James in connection with the Assignment granted by Oliver James..
totaal schrap.
The Contractor will also not offer (or attempt to offer) to accept an assignment from any other person who is a competitor of <recruiting-agency>.
Dat staat er dus letterlijk, hé. Honderden freelancers tekenen dat.
16 bladzijden kleine letters, standaard contract van Oliver James Associates.
Teken nooit zoiets zonder dat een advocaat dat grondig heeft nagelezen.
Uiteindelijk heb ik dit vertikaal geklasseerd.
