Israeli Freelancer Service Agreement
Trusted80/100Draft a tailored Israeli freelancer service agreement (heskem matan sherutim) between an independent service provider (osek patur or osek murshe) and their client. Covers scope of services, payment terms under the 2017 Prompt Payment to Suppliers Law, the independent-contractor declaration that lowers the risk of a court reclassifying the relationship as employment (yachasei oved-maavid), IP ownership of work product, confidentiality, termination, and indemnity. Use when a freelancer, consultant, designer, or developer needs a written contract before starting a project. Do NOT use for employment contracts, reviewing a contract you are about to sign, or day-to-day invoicing.

Israeli freelancers often start projects with no written contract, then get burned: a client pays months late with no recourse, or a long engagement ends with the contractor suing for retroactive recognition as an employee and winning severance and pension. A generic contract ignores Israeli law on reclassification, copyright defaults, payment timing, and VAT. This skill drafts a service agreement built around those Israeli rules.

Try These Prompts
I am a freelance [profession] and an osek murshe. A new client wants [service] for [fee] per month. Draft me a Hebrew service agreement with payment net 30, VAT added, and IP assigned on full payment.
I have worked as a contractor for one company full time for two years. What should my new service agreement say, and what should I change in practice, so I am not treated as an employee?
My client says they own everything I design for them. Under Israeli law, who owns the copyright by default, and what should the contract say if I want to keep or license my work?
What payment terms should my freelancer contract have so I am protected against late payment under Israeli law, and how do I add withholding-tax certificates?

Changelog
Corrected two errors that gave freelancers false reassurance: under s.35(a) an IP transfer can arise by implication and not only expressly, and under s.45(a) software carries no moral rights. Added the Contractor Contract Law, which was never cited, and fixed a script bug that silently discarded shotef+0 payment terms.
