A working contract agreement is an agreement between two parties (a person or an organization) that is meant to be used temporarily until another agreement can be reached. You might use a contract agreement as a short-term replacement for an employment contract, for example, or in place of a formal partnership agreement. A working contract agreement will often include terms that are similar to those found in more permanent agreements, such as a confidentiality clause, indemnification clause, and dispute resolution procedure. A working contract agreement can help you protect yourself by defining your rights and responsibilities under the agreement. It can also help you manage risk by ensuring that both parties agree ahead of time on how they will handle any disputes that may arise from the arrangement. This contract agreement provides clarity about what is expected from both parties and how they intend to proceed with their business relationship. It helps both parties to know what they can expect from one another but also protects them if something goes wrong during their partnership. This infographic from Venngage is a working contract
