What is a Service Agreement (Consultant)?

By | March 3, 2008

Consulting Services Agreement for a one-time project or for on-going services is an agreement between a contractor/consultant and a client. This agreement will be helpful for the relationship because it provides the terms and conditions of the arrangement and clarifies important issues such as: Is the agreement for a fixed term or ongoing? How much will the contractor be paid, and when? How will the arrangement terminate? What services is the contractor agreeing to perform? The answers to all these questions will be answered in this agreement. In addition, the agreement will confirm that an employer/employee relationship is not being created.
