This Independent Contractor Agreement ("Agreement") is offered by the Company to the applicant identified below ("Contractor"). It becomes effective only when TGM approves the application or issues a work order. Submitting this application does not guarantee any work.
Compensation basis:
Rate/payment terms:
Company acceptance: Pending authorized TGM approval and countersignature
- Independent relationship. Contractor is an independent business and not an employee, partner, joint venturer, or agent of Company. Contractor controls the manner and means of performing accepted services, subject to agreed results, project specifications, law, and site-safety requirements. The parties understand that actual worker status depends on applicable law and the real working relationship, not this label alone.
- Services and work orders. Contractor may accept or decline painting, stone-polishing, maintenance, electrical, or related project work offered on an as-needed, project-by-project basis. Each accepted scope, location, schedule, and deliverable will be confirmed in writing. Company guarantees no minimum amount or duration of work.
- Payment and expenses. Compensation may be hourly, daily, fixed by project or scope, or another written arrangement, as shown above or in an accepted work order. Contractor will invoice as directed for satisfactorily completed services. Unless otherwise stated in writing, Contractor bears its business expenses.
- Taxes and benefits. Contractor is responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes, filings, permits, licenses, and registrations arising from Contractor's business and compensation. Contractor will provide an accurate Form W-9. Contractor is not eligible for Company wages or employee benefits, except rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
- Tools, equipment, and transportation. Unless a work order states otherwise, Contractor supplies the ordinary tools, equipment, and transportation needed to complete accepted services.
- Licensing and insurance. Contractor will maintain licenses legally required for the accepted services and provide requested proof of general liability and workers’ compensation coverage or a valid exemption. If Company separately agrees in writing to arrange project coverage, lawful related costs may be deducted from compensation or included in the project rate.
- Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor will defend, indemnify, and hold Company harmless from third-party claims, losses, or liabilities caused by Contractor’s negligence, willful misconduct, legal violations, or material breach of this Agreement, but not to the extent caused by Company’s own negligence or misconduct.
- Quality, safety, and compliance. Contractor will perform professionally, correct deficient work for which Contractor is responsible, follow applicable laws, codes, site rules, and safety requirements, and promptly report hazards, incidents, or damage.
- Confidentiality and property. Contractor will protect nonpublic customer and Company information, use it only to perform accepted services, and return Company or customer property when requested.
- Client non-solicitation and non-circumvention. During this Agreement and for 12 months after Contractor last serves a particular Company client, Contractor will not directly solicit or knowingly accept substantially similar work from that specific client outside Company when the relationship arose through Company, without Company’s written consent. This does not prohibit general advertising or work for a client relationship Contractor can document existed independently before Company, and applies only to the extent reasonably necessary and enforceable under Florida law.
- Non-exclusivity and authority. Contractor may provide services to others and advertise to the public, provided doing so does not misuse confidential information or interfere with accepted obligations. Contractor cannot bind Company or make commitments on Company's behalf.
- Term and termination. Either party may end this Agreement at any time by written notice, with or without cause, subject to duties already incurred under an accepted work order. Payment, taxes, confidentiality, client restrictions, property, indemnity, and responsibility for completed services survive as applicable.
- Entire agreement and governing law. This Agreement and accepted work orders are the parties' agreement on these subjects and may be changed only in a writing accepted by both parties. Florida law governs without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to the extent allowed by law. Electronic records and signatures may be used.
