SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Israeli freelancers often start projects on a handshake and later face late payments with no recourse or retroactive reclassification as employees, triggering severance and back-benefit claims. Generic contract templates ignore Israeli-specific rules on payment timing, VAT status, IP defaults, and contractor classification. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Israeli-law-grounded drafting: Produces a Hebrew RTL service agreement covering scope, payment terms under the 2017 Prompt Payment to Suppliers Law, VAT handling for osek patur vs osek murshe, withholding tax, and IP ownership under the 2007 Copyright Law. - Reclassification risk management: Builds the independent-contractor declaration plus operational-separation guidance that Israeli labor courts actually weigh under the integration test. - Scripted skeleton generation: The build_agreement.py script assembles a parameterized contract with flags for foreign clients, recurring retainers, personal-data processing, invention ownership, and the optional client-protective set-off clause. - Use Case: A freelance developer billing a startup through its Delaware parent uses the skill to draft a contract that drops the inapplicable payment-law framing, flags zero-rate VAT questions for a CPA, and assigns invention rights explicitly. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to draft an Israeli freelancer service agreement for your engagement, providing your name, client name, services, fee, VAT status, and desired payment term.

Frequently Asked Questions about israeli-freelancer-service-agreement

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a freelancer service agreement under Israeli law?

Provide the parties' names and ID numbers, the services, fee structure, VAT status (osek patur or osek murshe), and desired payment term. The skill assembles a Hebrew RTL agreement covering payment, IP, confidentiality, and termination, optionally via the build_agreement.py script.

Who owns the intellectual property in an Israeli freelance contract?

Under section 35 of the 2007 Copyright Law, a commissioned work defaults to the creator (the freelancer), but that default can be displaced expressly or by implication. The agreement must state the allocation in writing, typically assigning economic rights to the client on full payment.

Does a contract clause prevent reclassification as an employee in Israel?

No. Israeli labor courts treat the independent-contractor label as evidence only and apply the integration test to the actual facts. The skill pairs the declaration with operational-separation guidance such as own tools, multiple clients, and no exclusivity.

Can I use this skill for an employment contract or contract review?

No. It drafts service agreements for independent contractors only. For employee employment contracts use israeli-employment-contracts, and for reviewing a contract before signing use israeli-employment-contract-reviewer.

What happens when the client is a foreign company?

The Prompt Payment to Suppliers Law does not apply to non-Israeli entities, so payment protections must be written into the contract directly. The --foreign-client flag drops the statutory framing and leaves the VAT rate determination to a CPA.

Is the generated agreement a substitute for legal advice?

No. The output is an automatically generated draft and general template, not legal advice or a lawyer-reviewed document. The skill instructs users to have an advocate review the agreement before signing.
