Document background
The Freelance Agreement Contract is essential for businesses operating in Belgium that engage independent contractors for professional services. This document is specifically designed to comply with Belgian contract law and self-employment regulations, providing a clear framework for freelance relationships while avoiding any implications of employment status. It addresses critical aspects such as service scope, compensation, intellectual property rights, data protection under GDPR, and professional liability. The agreement is particularly important given Belgium's specific requirements for independent contractor relationships and the need to clearly distinguish between employed and self-employed status. It includes provisions for VAT handling, social security considerations, and other regulatory requirements specific to the Belgian business environment.
