A general agreement for any service one party performs for another: scope, price, timing, quality and ending.
Card payment through Stripe. Your files are ready straight after payment and are also sent by e-mail.
Licence: this document is for your personal use only. You may not resell, share, copy or republish it, or use its content, without the written permission of TheLawToKnow.
How to use it
- When: one party (the Provider) performs a service for another (the Client) for a price: repairs, cleaning, training, marketing, design, transport, maintenance, events and many other jobs.
- Fill in everything in [square brackets] and delete the options you do not use. Describe the service, the result and the dates as exactly as you can in Annex 1.
- Form: write it down and have both parties sign, one copy for each.
- Not for: a long-term individual working under your direction (that may be employment), a freelancer with rights to the work produced (use the independent contractor agreement), or a sale of goods.

What these templates are not
- They are self-help templates, not legal advice, and they do not replace a lawyer.
- Laws differ from country to country, and some rules cannot be changed by contract. Each template ends with a checklist of what to check where you live.
- For a high-value or unusual situation, ask a local lawyer or notary to look at the final text.
