It has no non-compete (section 27 of Cap. 149).

Why it matches: You want a freelance services contract that also covers confidentiality, copyright and how it can be ended.

A business's contract with a freelancer in Greece: the services, independence in time, place and means, the fee, invoicing, confidentiality, copyright and termination. The independence terms matter: under Greek Law 2639/1998 the contract is presumed to hide employment if the freelancer works personally, exclusively or mainly for the same client for nine consecutive months. It records whether the freelancer has only one or two clients, in which case they are insured like an employee (Law 4387/2016, art. 39(9)), and whether the 20% tax withheld on invoices above €300 applies (art. 64 of Law 4172/2013).
