Details in the Service Contract

Usually, various terms and conditions or clauses are common in contracts for services. However, each contract will be different and will depend on the type of service offered. A good contract should include:


* The names and addresses of both service provider and the customer.

* The type of service provided.

* Territory/geographical coverage

* The contractor’s status, whether working for an outside agency or not.

* Payment terms and frequency of payment.

* Pricing adjustment (for example annual increases linked to suitable index)

* Term - period of agreement

* The date of commencement of the services.

* Limitation of liability.

* Details on breach of contract.

* Prevailing laws

* Confidentiality

* Renewal of contracts.

* Termination of contract and force majeure

* Signatures and witnesses

Can a Service Provider Hire an

Sometimes a service provider fails to meet the customer requirement and, hence, hires an outside agency to provide the services. This should be stated in the terms and conditions and should in no way infringe on the customer’s basic rights. Any contract that looks to override a customer’s basic rights can be deemed unenforceable in the eyes of the law.
Therefore, it is important to clearly define each clause of contract so that service provider may enforce the contract for any loss sustain by him.
Changing the Contract at a Later Date
Original contracts cannot be changed once the terms and conditions have decided among the parties. However, if a service provider wishes to make a change to a contract, it can only be done with mutual consent of the parties. This will be entertained as an amendment to the original contract.
That is why it is important to get qualified advice in drawing up the detail and wording of the contract document, especially if the services contract is of a substantial nature, or carries potentially large liabilities.
