A service agreement frames a job entrusted by a client to an independent provider: freelancer, contractor, consultant, tradesperson... It pins down the three essentials of any engagement: what will be done (the scope), for what price, and by when.

Describe the job as precisely as possible in the 'Details' field โ€” a clear scope is the best protection against misunderstandings. Agree on the price and payment terms (deposit, milestones) before the work starts, and keep one signed copy per party.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a service agreement and an employment contract?

A service provider remains independent: they organize their own work and are not under the client's direct authority. Fixed hours and permanent instructions can turn the relationship into employment in many jurisdictions.

Is a signed quote the same as a service agreement?

A signed quote proves agreement on the price and the service. A contract remains preferable for longer jobs: it also covers deadlines, payment terms and how either party can end the engagement.
