How is this different from the Freelance Contract template?

The Freelance Contract template is for a single project between an individual contractor and a client. This one is built for ongoing B2B service relationships, typically between two businesses.

Can I set this up as a recurring engagement?

Yes — the template includes term and renewal clauses for ongoing relationships. If you specifically need a monthly retainer with included hours and an overage rate, see our Consulting/Retainer Agreement template instead.

What Is a Service Agreement?

A service agreement governs an ongoing business relationship where one company provides services to another — think marketing retainers, IT support, consulting, or maintenance work that continues over time rather than ending after one deliverable. It typically covers scope of services, payment terms, service levels, liability, and how either side can end the relationship.

Glossary

Service Provider: The business (or individual) delivering the services under the agreement — the counterpart to the client.
Term: How long the agreement runs — either a fixed end date, or ongoing until either side gives notice to terminate.
Limitation of Liability: A clause capping how much one party can be forced to pay the other if something goes wrong, typically capped at fees paid — standard in B2B contracts to keep risk proportional to the deal size.
Termination Notice Period: The advance warning (usually a number of days) either party must give before ending the agreement — protects both sides from being cut off with no runway.
Indemnification: A promise by one party to cover the other's losses or legal costs if their own actions (e.g. a data breach, IP infringement) cause a third-party claim.
