This Freelance Developer Contract is designed for use under Danish jurisdiction when engaging independent software developers for various technical projects. It carefully balances the need to maintain genuine freelance status under Danish labor law while ensuring comprehensive project delivery terms. The document includes essential provisions required by Danish and EU law, including GDPR compliance, intellectual property rights transfer, and proper VAT handling. It's particularly relevant for companies seeking to engage technical talent flexibly without creating employment relationships. The contract addresses key areas such as code ownership, development standards, testing requirements, and confidentiality obligations, while maintaining compliance with Danish contract law and relevant EU directives. This template should be customized based on specific project requirements and the nature of the development services being contracted.
