🧑🏫 Contractor / consultancy agreementA contractor / consultancy agreement is a contract between a company and an individual consultant or contractor. The agreement sets out the terms of the relationship between the parties, including the scope of work, the fees, the term of the agreement, and other important details. The agreement should protect the company's interests and ensure that the consultant or contractor performs their duties as agreed.
This template outlines the terms and conditions of the guarantee, including the parent company's explicit guarantee to assume responsibility for the subsidiary's financial obligations, such as loans, leases, or other contractual commitments. In the case of default or failure by the subsidiary to meet its financial duties, the PCG ensures that the parent company steps in to fulfill these obligations.
The template may contain specific provisions such as:
1. Parties involved: Identifying the parent company and its subsidiary that are entering into this guarantee agreement.
2. Description of the subsidiary's obligations: Clearly defining the subsidiary's financial commitments that fall under this guarantee, such as debts, contracts, or warranties.
3. Scope of the parent company's guarantee: Detailing the extent of the financial obligations the parent company is guaranteeing, including specific thresholds or limits.
4. Terms and conditions: Outlining conditions under which the guarantee can be invoked, including default triggers, notice periods, and the process of informing and seeking approval from the parent company.
5. Subsidiary responsibilities: Stating the subsidiary's duty to maintain financial records, share relevant information with the parent company, and promptly notify the parent company of any potential financial risks or issues.
6. Indemnification and reimbursement: Addressing the subsidiary's obligation to reimburse the parent company for any costs incurred due to fulfilling the guarantee, such as legal fees or payment of debts.
7. Governing law and jurisdiction: Specifying the legal jurisdiction (typically UK) and the law governing the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement.
By utilizing this template, parent companies can ensure that they have legal protection and recourse in case of subsidiary default, protecting their financial interests and reducing potential risks.

Software Engineer Contract
This Software Engineer contract template is designed for a commercial software engineering organisation (or an individual software engineer) to use when contracting out their skills and services in exchange for payment. This contract sets out the type of software engineering and software-engineering-related services to be completed by the software engineer on behalf of the client, with consideration for expectations around quality and delivery timescales, as well as any mitigating circumstances. This contract allows for payment to be made by the client to the software engineering firm or individual software engineer on a weekly or monthly basis but can easily be edited to account for other payment schedules and could be altered to include bonuses conditional on performance. It can also be fully customised with the details of the two parties and the duration of the contract and can be printed, downloaded and edited freely as part of our mission to open source business legals. This is a template for contractors who fit outside of the UK's off-payroll working rules (IR35).
