contract-pack

/contract-pack

Generate a signable draft of one of four contract types for a Kosovo freelancer or IT consultancy:

Document	When to use
MSA (Master Services Agreement)	Recurring or multi-project client relationship. Sets terms once, then SOWs reference it.
SOW (Statement of Work)	Project-specific scope, schedule, and price. Attaches to an MSA or stands alone.
NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)	Pre-sales, when sharing confidential info before a contract exists. Mutual by default.
IC Agreement (Independent Contractor)	Engaging a freelancer or subcontractor to deliver work to your client. Critical to get classification right.

Usage

/contract-pack $ARGUMENTS

Examples:

• /contract-pack MSA with Acme Corp, Germany, ongoing dev work
• /contract-pack NDA mutual, two-year term, prospect call next week
• /contract-pack IC agreement for hiring a Kosovo-based subcontractor for an international project

What to ask the user first

For an MSA or SOW, ask in one batch:

1. Client legal name, registered address, country
2. Your entity (B.I. or SH.P.K., name, address, ARBK number)
3. Engagement type (project, retainer, T&M)
4. Governing law preference (default: English law, LCIA arbitration in London)
5. Special asks from the client (IP assignment, indemnities, insurance)

For an NDA, ask:

1. Counterparty name and country
2. Mutual or one-way
3. Term (default: 2 years from disclosure)
4. Purpose of disclosure (one sentence)

For an IC Agreement, ask:

1. Contractor's name and country
2. Scope and rate
3. Whether they're delivering work to one of your clients (sub-contracting setup)
4. Whether IP needs to flow through to your end client

Kosovo legal anchors to bake into every contract

These are not legal advice. They are the defaults that hold up under Kosovo law for the common case. Always recommend a kontabilist or lawyer review for high-stakes contracts.

Independent Contractor vs Employee classification (Law 03/L-212)

Kosovo's labor law classifies a relationship as employment if there's:

• Fixed working hours set by the engager
• Subordination (the worker takes direction on how to work)
• Economic dependence (single source of income, fixed monthly pay)
• Provision of tools and workspace by the engager

If three or more of these are true, Kosovo courts will likely re-classify as employment regardless of the contract title. The IC agreement template should explicitly negate each:

"Contractor shall set their own working hours, choose their own methods, and is free to provide services to other clients. Contractor uses their own equipment. Compensation is per deliverable / per project, not a fixed monthly salary."

Misclassification exposure: back pension contributions, back income tax withholding, severance liability, fines.

IP assignment

Under the Kosovo Civil Code, IP created by a contractor belongs to the contractor by default unless explicitly assigned. The MSA and IC agreement templates should include:

"All work product created under this Agreement, including source code, designs, documentation, and derivative works, is assigned in full to [Client / Engager] upon payment. Contractor retains no rights other than those expressly granted. Contractor waives all moral rights to the extent permitted by Kosovo law."

The "to the extent permitted" matters, moral rights are not fully waivable in some civil-law jurisdictions, including Kosovo. Be honest about that.

Confidentiality

Standard mutual NDA clause with carveouts for:

• Information already in the public domain
• Information independently developed
• Information required to be disclosed by law (with notice to the other party)

Term: 2 years from disclosure is the EU default. US clients often push for 5+ years; that's negotiable.

Governing law and disputes

For international clients, propose:

• Governing law: English law (neutral, well-understood)
• Disputes: LCIA arbitration, single arbitrator, seat in London, English language
• Alternative: ICC arbitration, Paris seat, common for French/German clients

Avoid Kosovo courts in the contract for international engagements. Not because Kosovo courts are bad, but because foreign clients won't sign it.

Payment terms

Default for international clients:

• Net 30 from invoice date
• 1% per month late fee after due date
• Wise or SEPA preferred for EUR; SWIFT acceptable
• Currency conversion losses borne by paying party

Termination

• Either party may terminate for convenience with 30 days' written notice
• Either party may terminate for material breach with 14 days' written notice and a cure opportunity
• Termination doesn't release outstanding payment obligations or surviving clauses (confidentiality, IP, governing law)

Limitation of liability

Cap total liability at fees paid in the prior 12 months. Exclude indirect, consequential, and lost profits. Carve out gross negligence, willful misconduct, IP infringement, and confidentiality breaches.

Output

Produce a clean markdown document the user can convert to PDF or Word. Use the Cowork docx skill for Word output if requested.

Default header:

This [DOCUMENT TYPE] is entered into between:

[CLIENT NAME], a [entity type] organised under the laws of [country], with registered office at [address] ("Client"),

and

[YOUR ENTITY NAME], a [B.I. / SH.P.K.] organised under the laws of the Republic of Kosovo, ARBK number [number], with registered office at [address] ("Supplier").

Always end the draft with:

⚠️ This is a starting draft, not legal advice. Have a Kosovo-qualified lawyer review before signing, especially for IP assignment, IC classification, and limitation of liability clauses.

Tips

1. Don't over-engineer. A 4-page MSA signs faster than a 12-page one. Save the long form for enterprise clients.
2. Match the client's expectations. German clients sign in English. French clients sometimes want French. US clients want everything indemnified.
3. IC classification is the highest-risk item. Don't generate IC agreements without flagging the four-factor test.
4. Offer to chain into the next skill. "Want me to generate the matching invoice template?"
