FOR FOUNDERS, INVESTORS, AND BUSINESS BUYERS OR SELLERS
You Paid For The App. But Do You Actually Own The Code?

Paying a developer does not mean you own what they build. Under international copyright law, the creator owns the code unless explicitly signed away. The Developer IP Transfer Agreement is the only way to legally strip the freelancer of their rights, secure your software, and ensure you own 100% of your product.

  • Absolute Ownership: Legally transfer all copyrights, patents, and source code from their name to your company.
  • Stop "Hostage" Situations: Force the immediate handover of GitHub repositories and AWS passwords.
  • The "Clone" Blocker: Prevent the developer from legally reselling your exact app architecture to a competitor.
  • VC-Approved: Passes strict Technical Due Diligence for US, UK, and African venture capital rounds.

"They built your MVP. Then they sold the exact same code to your biggest competitor."

You have a brilliant idea. You hire a freelance developer or an offshore dev shop to build it. You pay their $15,000 invoice.

You think you own the app. You are wrong.

Because you didn't make them sign a specific IP Transfer Agreement, the developer legally owns the underlying code. You just bought an expensive "license" to use it.

When you try to raise Venture Capital, the investors discover you don't own your own tech. They walk away. When you try to fire the developer, they hold your AWS servers hostage. And worse? They can legally take the code you paid for and sell it to someone else.

Don't fund a developer's portfolio with your money.

The Legal Trunk IP Transfer Agreement ensures that the second the code is written, it belongs entirely to you.

  • Improved work performance and productivity wherever you are
  • Experience increased motivation, willpower and intensity
  • Powerful support for memory, mood and mental clarity
  • Better vitality and health from 100% U.S. Farm Fresh Ingredients

The 3 Fatal Flaws In "Work-For-Hire" Handshakes

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

The "I Paid You" Trap (Absolute IP Assignment)

The Trap: Believing that an invoice proves ownership. It doesn't. Without a signed deed, the freelancer retains the copyright to the software architecture.
Your Leverage: The Absolute Transfer Clause. A bulletproof legal mechanism that permanently strips the developer of all moral and economic rights to the code, algorithms, and designs, transferring them exclusively to your company.

The "Locked Out" Trap (Source Code Surrender)

The Trap: The relationship goes sour, and the developer refuses to give you the master passwords to the servers, essentially turning your app off until you pay a ransom.
Your Leverage: The Credential Handover Mandate. Legally classifies the holding of source code, API keys, or admin credentials after termination as a severe breach of contract, giving you immediate legal recourse.

The "Copy/Paste" Trap (Originality Warranty)

The Trap: Your freelancer finishes your project faster than expected because they illegally copy-pasted code from another company. You get sued for copyright infringement.
Your Leverage: The "Original Work" Warranty. The developer legally swears the code is 100% original and does not infringe on third-party licenses (like strict open-source). If you get sued, this clause forces the developer to pay your legal bills.

Real Testimonies from Our Clients in 18 Countries

"I finally stopped hoarding my pitch deck."
Rated 5 out of 5

"I used to be terrified that if I shared my app idea with developers or investors, they’d just run off with it. The Legal Trunk NDA didn't just give me legal protection; it gave me the confidence to actually speak up. I sent this to three potential partners last week, and they signed it without blinking. The 'Awkward Conversation Script' was a lifesaver!"

- Lee

"It immediately changed the tone of the meeting."
Rated 5 out of 5

"I’m a creative director, and I hire a lot of freelance designers. I used to just hope they wouldn't use my client's work for their own portfolios. Sending the Legal Trunk NDA before we started work made me look 10x more professional. It signals that I run a serious agency, and it set clear boundaries from Day 1."

- Mr Tony

"Better than paying a lawyer for a draft."
Rated 5 out of 5

"I needed an NDA fast because a potential vendor was waiting on me. I didn't have the budget or time to wait for a law firm. I downloaded this, filled in the brackets, and had it signed in under 20 minutes. Trust me, this is a game-changer"
