The Contract for Work To Be Done (Werkvertrag) is a fundamental contract type in Austrian business practice, essential for project-based work and specific deliverables. It should be used when a party is commissioned to produce a defined result or work product, rather than providing ongoing services. This contract type is particularly important as it establishes clear boundaries between project-based work and employment relationships, which is crucial for compliance with Austrian labor and social security laws. The document typically includes detailed specifications of the work to be performed, quality standards, acceptance procedures, and warranty provisions. It is governed by Austrian law, specifically the ABGB (Austrian Civil Code), and may need to incorporate additional requirements from consumer protection laws if one party is a consumer, or commercial code provisions if both parties are businesses.
