When to use this form
Use this form when you provide services to clients and need clear terms. Examples: a cleaning company starting weekly office cleanings; an independent dispatcher handling loads for a carrier; a consultant delivering a website redesign. It sets scope, deliverables, timelines, fees, revisions, and who owns the work. It also covers cancellation, late payment, and liability, so you prevent disputes and speed onboarding. If your work is industry-specific, you can start from the Cleaning service agreement form or the Freight dispatch agreement form. When you charge fixed or recurring fees, pair it with a Service fee agreement form to spell out rates and billing.
Must Ask Service Agreement Questions
- What services and deliverables are included, and what is out of scope?
This defines the work and prevents scope creep or surprise tasks. It helps you estimate time and cost, and sets clear expectations from day one.
- What is the schedule and key milestones, including start date, deadlines, and client approvals?
Timelines align both parties and keep the project on track. You can also reference a Commitment form to confirm who owns each task and sign-off.
- What are the fees, payment schedule, and late payment terms?
Clear pricing, deposits, invoicing dates, and penalties protect your cash flow. This reduces payment disputes and speeds up collections.
- Who owns the intellectual property, and when does ownership transfer?
Defining rights to final work, drafts, and data prevents reuse conflicts. Tie transfer to full payment to protect both sides.
- What are the cancellation, termination, and dispute resolution terms?
Notice periods, refunds, and an exit plan reduce risk if things change. Adding governing law, venue, and a simple dispute process keeps issues out of court.
