What is a service agreement?
A service agreement is a legally binding contract between a service provider and a client. It specifies the services to be delivered, payment terms, timelines, intellectual property ownership, confidentiality, and what happens if either party ends the agreement early.
What is the difference between a service agreement and an independent contractor agreement?
A service agreement focuses on the services being delivered — it can be used between businesses or between a business and a contractor. An independent contractor agreement focuses specifically on establishing a non-employment relationship with a self-employed individual.
Does a service agreement need to be signed by both parties?
Yes. For a service agreement to be legally binding, both parties must sign it. Contractable-generated agreements can be downloaded as PDF or Word documents and signed digitally or in person.
What should a service agreement include?
A complete service agreement should include: description of services, payment terms and schedule, project timeline, ownership of work product, confidentiality provisions, and termination conditions. Contractable generates all of these based on your specific situation.
