töövõtulepingust

Töövõtuleping is a type of contract governed by Estonian contract law, specifically the Law of Obligations Act. It establishes a relationship between two parties where one party, the contractor (töövõtja), agrees to complete a specific work or project for another party, the client (tööandja), by a certain deadline and for an agreed price. This differs from an employment contract (tööleping) in that the contractor is typically an independent entity, not an employee, and is responsible for the outcome of the work rather than the process.

Key elements of a töövõtuleping include a clear definition of the work to be performed, the agreed-upon price, and the deadline for completion. The contractor usually bears the risk of completing the work successfully and is responsible for any materials, tools, or subcontractors needed. The client's primary obligation is to pay the agreed-upon remuneration upon successful completion of the work. Unlike employment contracts, there is generally no obligation for the client to provide social benefits, sick leave, or vacation time to the contractor.

Töövõtuleping can be used for a wide range of services, such as construction, design, repairs, or creating specific products. It provides flexibility for both parties, allowing for project-based work without the complexities of an employer-employee relationship. It is crucial that the contract clearly outlines the scope of work, deliverables, payment terms, and responsibilities to avoid disputes.
