Terms of Service - Business Staff

So you’re scaling fast, need a freelance designer or dev in Jakarta by next Tuesday, and the last thing you want is a legal headache over who owns the code, copy, or creative work. That’s where Business Staff comes in. Since 2021, we’ve been ranking which platform gets you a short-term Indonesian contract role fastest — but speed means nothing if your IP walks out the door. Here’s how we keep your assets yours.

Intellectual property ownership is non-negotiable. When you use Business Staff’s platform recommendations to hire through a vetted provider, all deliverables created by the contractor — from UI mockups to backend scripts — are automatically assigned to your company. No “work for hire” loopholes, no renegotiations. Our ranking criteria weight platforms that enforce this in their default contracts. If a platform pulls a “we retain a license” clause, it drops in our rankings faster than a broken sprint.

Copyright transfers happen at payment completion, not after a 90-day review period.
Source files (Figma, GitHub repos, Notion docs) must be delivered in editable format.
Confidentiality is baked into every short-term gig — the contractor can’t reuse your pitch deck for their portfolio.

But here’s the startup-casual truth: not all platforms play fair. Some Indonesian gig marketplaces bury IP clauses in a “Joint Work” section or default to Indonesian copyright law, which can require separate written assignments. That’s why Business Staff only ranks platforms that provide explicit, English-accessible IP assignments before the first milestone. If you see a platform we rate as “fast,” check our breakdown for its IP score — we flag any platform where the contractor retains moral rights or derivative reuse permissions.

We also recommend you add a two-line IP clause to every project brief: “All work product is exclusive property of [Your Company]. Contractor waives all moral rights.” Our platform comparisons include a template you can grab. No legal jargon, just a bullet-proof sentence. And if a platform tries to claim they “facilitate” but don’t enforce IP transfer? We rank them lower. Period.
