FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a service agreement and a contract?
A service agreement is a type of contract specifically designed for professional or business services. It covers the unique aspects of service engagements — scope of work, deliverables, performance standards, and IP ownership — that a general contract template might miss.
Should I use a fixed-price or hourly fee structure?
Fixed-price works best when the scope is well-defined and unlikely to change. Hourly rates are better for ongoing or evolving engagements where the scope may shift. A retainer model suits ongoing advisory relationships. Many engagements use a hybrid approach — fixed price for defined deliverables plus hourly rates for additional work.
Who should own the intellectual property created under the agreement?
In most client-service provider relationships, the client owns the work product (deliverables) created specifically for them. However, the service provider typically retains ownership of their pre-existing tools, frameworks, and methodologies. Our agreement lets you configure IP ownership to match your specific arrangement.
Why do I need a limitation of liability clause?
A limitation of liability caps the maximum amount one party can recover from the other in case of a breach or dispute. Without one, a service provider could face damages far exceeding the fees they earned. The most common cap is the total fees paid under the agreement.
Is this agreement jurisdiction-specific?
This service agreement is drafted to work across jurisdictions. You specify the governing law (the jurisdiction whose laws will apply to interpret the agreement), but the provisions themselves are not tied to any specific state or country. We recommend having a local attorney review the agreement for jurisdiction-specific requirements.
What makes this different from a free service agreement template?
Free templates are generic and often miss critical provisions like IP ownership, limitation of liability, or proper termination mechanics. Our AI generates a fully customized agreement based on your specific engagement — fee structure, deliverables, IP needs, and risk allocation — resulting in a comprehensive, professional document.
