A bit of free legal advice: you shouldn’t rely on others’ contract forms without having a lawyer review them for your own needs.
There are a number of potential issues with this contract from a freelancer’s point of view:
* It’s generally pro-customer form and is missing certain protections like a limitation on the amount of direct damages
* Lots of capitalized terms are not defined—for example, there is no definition for the freelancer’s preexisting works which are to be excluded from the assignment of IP ownership
* The company gets to decide how much to pay the freelancer if the contract is terminated before the project is complete—it’s more common to have this be based on T&M rates or something more objective
