Third-Party Contractor Terms of Engagement
These terms apply to any individual or company (“Contractor”) engaged by Forty Miles West (“The Agency”) to carry out work on our behalf for internal or client projects.
1. Confidentiality
All project materials, source code, documentation, access credentials, client communications, pricing structures, and internal processes are confidential. Contractors must not share, replicate, or use any of this information outside the scope of their assignment.
2. No Direct Client Contact
Contractors may not contact, solicit, or accept work directly from any client of Forty Miles West without written permission. Just so you know, all communication must remain under the direction of Forty Miles West unless we agree otherwise in writing.
3. Intellectual Property
Any code, designs, copy, media, documentation, or strategic work created during your engagement remains the exclusive intellectual property of Forty Miles West or our end client. Contractors may not resell, reuse, or publicly share any such materials unless granted written approval.
4. Work-for-Hire Basis
All work is delivered on a work-for-hire basis under the Forty Miles West brand. Without written consent, contractors must not include client work in public portfolios, case studies, or promotional material.
5. Conduct
Contractors are expected to act professionally and respectfully, deliver work on time, and maintain high quality and communication standards.
6. Termination
Forty Miles West reserves the right to terminate any engagement without notice if these terms are breached. Any unauthorised disclosure of confidential information or client contact may result in legal action.
7. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
8. Acceptance
By accepting a project or engaging in communication-related to an assignment, the Contractor agrees to be bound by these terms.
9. Introduced Associates
Where Forty Miles West introduces a third party to a client to contribute specific services (e.g. SEO, consultancy, or design), that party agrees not to expand their scope, advise on additional services, or provide consultation in areas already covered by Forty Miles West, unless explicitly agreed in writing. This includes, but is not limited to, any services that encroach on our core service offering, such as web development, web hosting, or technical changes to websites that may introduce security or performance risks. These terms apply whether or not the third party is contracted directly by Forty Miles West. Breach of this clause may result in termination of collaboration and legal action, if necessary, to protect the business and its client relationships.
