Employer and Contractor further acknowledge and agree that the relationship exists specifically and expressly between Employer and Contractor and that no employment relationship exists between Employer and oDesk or Contractor and oDesk. This Agreement does not create a partnership or agency relationship between Employer and Contractor. Contractor does not have authority to enter into written or oral – whether implied or express - contracts on behalf of Employer.

If applicable, Upwork will provide a Status Determination Statement ("SDS") required by IR35 to the Freelancer on behalf of the Subscriber. If Subscriber wishes to provide an SDS or designation under IR35 to Upwork and/or the Freelancer, Upwork will work with Subscriber to do so.
