This Freelance Agreement is designed for use under Maltese jurisdiction when engaging independent contractors or freelancers for various professional services. The agreement carefully establishes a genuine freelance relationship, distinguishing it from employment while complying with Maltese labor laws and EU regulations. It includes essential provisions for service delivery, compensation, intellectual property rights, data protection, and confidentiality. This document is particularly important given Malta's growing digital economy and increasing reliance on flexible working arrangements. The agreement protects both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with relevant tax, social security, and business regulations. Use this Freelance Agreement when engaging independent contractors for specific projects or ongoing services where a clear non-employment relationship needs to be established.
