The partner terms
Before we start
NDA firstA mutual NDA is signed before any client or project details are shared.
It protects your information and our clients', and stays in force after a project ends.
Partner agreementOne agreement sets the ground rules for working together.
It covers confidentiality, ownership, liability, and how either side can end the partnership.
Independent status and taxPartners run their own business and handle their own taxes.
Before the first payment we ask for a W-9 in the US, or a W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E outside it.
InsuranceSome projects need professional liability or cyber liability cover.
The statement of work says when cover is needed, and we ask for the certificate before work starts.
On every project
Statement of workEach project gets its own scope, milestones, acceptance and rate.
Nothing starts until both sides have signed it, and changes are agreed in writing.
Confidentiality and dataClient data is used only for the project it was shared for.
Access is limited to the people who need it, and removed when the project ends.
No subcontracting without approvalWork isn't passed to anyone else without our written approval.
Anyone approved works under the same terms.
PaymentInvoices follow the statement of work's milestones, paid net 30.
Unless the statement of work sets different terms.
Standards and conductThe quality and accessibility we promise clients, and honest dealing.
No bribes or kickbacks, and equal opportunity for everyone who works on our projects.
Ownership and relationships
Client-owned workWork made for a client project passes to Mayrian or the client once it's paid for.
Tools and code you owned before the project stay yours; the statement of work says how they may be used.
Non-solicitationYou don't approach clients we introduced you to for your own work.
During the partnership and for 12 months after it.
No guarantee of workApproval adds you to our partner network.
We reach out when a project fits your paths and your availability.
