Subcontractor agreement

Templates › Service Agreements & Contracts

A subcontractor agreement is used when a contractor brings in another party to help deliver work the contractor already committed to a client — it binds the subcontractor to the same confidentiality and quality terms the contractor owes that client.

When to use it

Use this when you've committed to a client engagement and need extra hands or specialized skills to deliver it — it keeps the subcontractor bound by the same obligations you already agreed to, so nothing falls through the gap between your contract and theirs.

What's typically included

• Background (the underlying client engagement)
• Scope of subcontracted work
• Compensation
• Flow-down terms (confidentiality/IP obligations)
• Classification
• Work product assignment
• Insurance
• Term and termination
• Governing law
