What Guard-Clause catches in contractor agreements
Misclassification Risk
§1 — Relationship of Parties
The agreement may describe an employment relationship while classifying you as a contractor — creating tax liability and denying you benefits. Control over hours, tools, and methods are key indicators.
Work-for-Hire IP Overreach
§5 — Intellectual Property
All deliverables plus anything 'conceived during the engagement' becomes the client's property. Your pre-existing tools, libraries, and methodologies could be claimed.
No Late Payment Penalties
§3 — Payment Terms
The client has 30–90 days to pay with no interest or penalties for late payment. You carry the cash flow risk entirely.
One-Sided Termination Rights
§7 — Termination
The client can terminate at any time with minimal notice and no obligation to pay for work in progress. You cannot terminate without liability.
