A service contract is a formal agreement between a service provider and a client that outlines the terms and conditions of the services to be provided. This document typically includes details such as the scope of work, payment terms, duration of the contract, and responsibilities of both parties. Service contracts help ensure that both the provider and the client have a clear understanding of their obligations. These contracts are commonly used in various industries, including construction, IT services, and maintenance. By having a service contract in place, both parties can protect their interests and reduce the risk of misunderstandings or disputes during the service period.
