What is Service Agreements?
A service agreement is the contract between a service provider and a client, scope of work, deliverables, timelines, payment, intellectual property ownership, confidentiality, warranties, indemnification, and termination. Service agreements protect both sides by defining what the engagement covers and what happens when scope changes or the relationship ends.
When you might need this service
- You are engaging a professional services provider (designer, developer, consultant, marketing agency) and need a clear scope and IP ownership.
- You are providing services and want a standard agreement to use across all clients.
- An ongoing engagement has scope-crept past the original contract and needs a rewrite.
- A dispute is brewing over deliverables, payment, or termination and the existing contract is too vague.
How Sari Law Firm helps
We draft service agreements with custom scope-of-work exhibits, deliverable-based or time-and-materials payment terms, IP ownership (work-for-hire vs. license-back), confidentiality, non-solicit, indemnification, and limitation of liability. For service providers we also build standard master service agreements with statement-of-work templates.
Predictable timelines, transparent pricing
Most service agreements engagements follow a clear path. We give you the timeline and the price in writing before the work begins, so you can plan with confidence.
