§ 35.
Public policy and intent. (a) The provisions of this Act shall apply only to contracts taking effect after the effective date of this Act. (b) Except as otherwise provided by law, any provision of a contract purporting to waive rights under this Act is void as against public policy. (c) The provisions of this Act are intended to supplement, and do not diminish or replace, any other basis of liability, remedy, or requirement established by statute or common law. (d) Failure to comply with this Section does not render any contract between a contracting entity and a freelance worker void in total, voidable, or otherwise impair any obligation, claim, or right related to the contract, nor does it constitute a defense to any action or proceeding to enforce, or for breach of, such contract. (e) No provision of this Act relating to freelance workers shall be construed as providing a determination about the legal classification of any such worker as an employee or independent contractor.
