As a rule, a contract of mandate is concluded for a definite period of time and is regulated in Articles 734-751 of the Civil Code. The parties to a contract of mandate may be any natural persons or legal entities. The provisions of the Labour Code do not apply to the contract of mandate, therefore the contractor is only entitled to the rights resulting from the content of the concluded contract.

It can be anything, such as a computer program or an article. The contract specifies the expected results of the activities and the agreed amount of remuneration or the criteria on the basis of which it will be determined.
