The parties agree that the "independent contractor" is independent of the "business" in the execution of the work and not subject to the rule or control of the "business" but is engaged only in the performance of a definite job or piece of work and is subordinate to the "business" only in effecting a result in accordance with that "business" design. The parties also agree that the "business" does not have the authority to supervise or control the actual work of the "independent contractor" or the "independent contractor's" employees. Furthermore, it is understood and agreed that the "independent contractor" or the "independent contractor's" employees are not entitled to workers' compensation benefits from the "business.”

The written agreement shall be null and void and create no presumption of an independent contractor relationship if the consent of either party is obtained through misrepresentation, false statements, fraud or intimidation, coercion or duress.
