Sample Business Contracts


Employment Agreement - CEC Telecom Co. Ltd.

Employment Forms

  • Employers can customize an employment agreement that states the salary, benefits, working hours and other important provisions for their new or existing employee.
  • Answer simple questions to build a contract with a consultant. Specify the services rendered, when payment is due, as well as IP rights.
  • Employers who compensate their sales employees based on commissions can prepare an agreement to reduce misunderstandings by specifying the base salary and how commissions are calculated.
  • Companies may offer their business executives a contract that is different from the one provided to their regular employees. Executive employment agreements may be more complex because the compensation structure may include a combination of salary and commissions, provide for bonuses based on sales, stock or other financial targets, and include non-compete, confidentiality and severance provisions.
  • Independent sales representatives offer companies the potential to increase the sale of products or services without the burden of increasing headcount. Both parties should understand how commissions are calculated, when commissions will be paid, as well as how the representative will treat confidential information from the company and whether the representative may also sell a competing line of products or services.

Party B due to the performance of his/her duties or the carrying out of tasks
assigned by Party A during the term of his/her employment with Party A shall be
vested in Party A. Such intellectual property rights shall include without
limitation, the right to apply for patent either domestically or abroad, and the
ownership of know-how in connection with computer software, trademark designs
and other mark designs.

Party A may, within its business scope and at its absolute discretion, use such
achievements in its production and operations or transfer them to any third
parties. Party B shall, at Party A's request, provide all necessary information
and take all necessary measures (including application and registration) to
assist Party A in the obtaining and exercising of the relevant intellectual
property rights.

The spiritual rights to such achievements such as the right of invention and the
right of authorship shall belong to Party B who is the inventor, creator or
developer. Party A respects Party B's spiritual rights and will assist Party B
in the exercising of such rights.

ARTICLE 6 During the term of Party B's employment with Party A, if Party B

discoveries, processes, know-how and any other information or matters that give
rise to any intellectual property right of any nature whatsoever, Party B shall
be liable to inform the Company in writing with details.

ARTICLE 7 Where Party B claims that Party B himself/herself shall be the owner
of the intellectual property right of any achievement Party B made during the
term of his/her employment with Party A that is related to Party A's business,
Party B shall declare it to Party A in a timely manner. Upon verification, if
Party A deems that such achievement is in deed not a work for hire, such
intellectual property right shall be vested in Party B. Without Party B's prior
express approval, Party A shall not use such achievement in its production and
operations, or transfer it to any third parties.

If in the absence of any declaration by Party B and it has been concluded that
such achievement is a work for hire, Party A may use such achievement in its
production and operations or transfer it to any third parties, and even if it is
proved in the future that such achievement is not a work for hire, Party B shall
not hold Party A liable for any economic compensation. If, after Party B's
declaration, Party A has any objection as to the ownership of such achievement,
the dispute may be settled through consultations; if it can not be settled
through consultations, the Parties may solve it by legal actions.

ARTICLE 8 If Party B is a new hire, upon Party A's consent, Party B may transfer
the intellectual property rights he/she owns to Party A. Party A shall pay a
reasonable consideration, and Party B shall furnish relevant supporting
documents or provide an

intellectual property rights to such achievements. A separate Intellectual
Property Right Transfer Agreement shall be executed for the purpose of such
transfer.

year after Party B's departure from Party A for any reason whatsoever, any
research and development achievements made by Party B that are related to Party
B's work at Party A or tasks assigned to Party B by Party A shall be vested in
Party A. If within one year after Party B's departure from Party A, Party B
still wants to make any improvement on any technical achievement that he/she has
made during the term of his/her employment with Party A and to which
achievements the intellectual property rights are vested in Party A, he/she must
obtain Party A's approval and Party A shall have the priority to use any further
achievements, including the priority to license the same.

obtained so as to maintain their confidentiality.

shall not be aware of such secrets), or use such trade secrets or technical
achievements for any purpose other than for the performance of his/her duties.

relevant technical secrets or other trade secrets shall be deemed the approval
of Party A, unless Party A has expressly indicated that such supervisor has no
such authorization beforehand.

ARTICLE 13 The Parties agree that after Party B's departure from Party A for any
reason, Party B shall have the same confidentiality obligation for Party A's
