Contract Templates & Forms

IEEE subject matter experts worked closely with our legal council, Dorsey & Whitney to create contract templates which include clauses that protect the IEEE.

• Contract Transmittal Form: To be submitted with all contracts with a monetary value of US$25K or more.
  
• Master Services Agreement (MSA):  This is to be used with businesses that are commissioned for editorial work or any other type of work. 
  
• Master Services Agreement (MSA) Addendum: To be submitted when an addendum is required to the Master Services Agreement.
  
• Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA): This is to be used with qualified Independent Contractors (IC's)  that are commissioned for non-editorial work.  For example, writers, graphic artists and ICs commissioned by IT&S would use the ICA, provided they work under their own social security # as an individual and not as a corporation.
  
• Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA) Addendum: To be submitted when an addendum is required to the Independent Contractor Agreement.

• Editorial Services Agreement (University): To be used with Editors who are employed by a university.  The contract is between the IEEE and the university.
