Document background
The Exclusive Independent Contractor Agreement is designed for situations where companies in Malaysia require dedicated, exclusive services from independent contractors while maintaining a clear distinction from employment relationships. This document is essential when engaging contractors who will work exclusively for one company but need to maintain their independent status. The agreement comprehensively addresses key aspects required under Malaysian law, including service scope, exclusivity terms, compensation, intellectual property rights, and confidentiality obligations. It ensures compliance with relevant Malaysian legislation, including the Contracts Act 1950, Employment Act 1955, and Competition Act 2010, while providing necessary protections for both parties. The document is particularly valuable for long-term contractor relationships where exclusivity is crucial for business operations.
