How Freelancers Should Avoid Being Exploited For Their Skill

Of late, the economies around the world are witnessing a drastic change in the form of employment from traditional to independent employment. Freelancers are independent workers serving multiple clients, temporarily hired for short term projects. With complete independence, they work on their own terms and let their creative juices flow without hindrance.

In India, all contracts and agreements are crafted along the lines of the Indian Contract Act of 1872.
