Service Agreements are often known by a variety of names, including supply contracts, supply agreements, consulting and consultancy agreements, or simply, your business terms and conditions or terms of trade.

Service Agreements are contracts between a provider of services and their client.  Their purpose is to outline the service being provided and the terms and conditions expected in relation to the provision of those services.

They are sometimes negotiated between the particular parties involved, or can be agreements provided to clients on a “take it or leave it” basis.  They will also outline the rights and obligations of each of the parties, which can become particularly important if either party has an issue in relation to the provision of the services, or the service itself.
