Client Services Agreement

$150.00

If you are a freelance writer, creator, marketer, publicist, consultant, plumber, accountant… or any other kind of service provider and we have not yet provided a services agreement for your specific business or industry, then this general client services agreement is what you need to clearly define the boundaries and expectations for your relationship with your clients. A Client services agreement is a binding, legal document that defines the relationship between a service provider and service consumer or client. It should state certain basic terms like the scope of work to be provided, the timing and delivery of service and payment expectations for clients.

Clients are also more likely to pay if they’ve signed an agreement stating that they would. This is reason enough to grab this template right now. #yourewelcome.

Not sure how to use this form? Here are some basic tips to help!

1. Require that you receive all or a portion of your payment for services upfront, in the form of a deposit. Receiving payment upfront will allow you to gauge whether your client is serious about paying your fees.

2. Make sure to include an expiration date on your client services agreements. Until signed, the agreement is merely an offer made to a client for a particular service. Unless you want that offer to remain open indefinitely, provide a date of expiration for when the offer will close.

3.When contracting with your clients, make sure you know their legal name(s). You want to make sure that you are binding the right person to the agreement. If your client is a business, check your Secretary of State registry to ensure you have the full legal name and address of the business.

4. To appear SUPER professional, fill out the template in MS Word or another word processing platform BEFORE you present it to client(s).But, if you are running short on time and need to fill in your template in pen or pencil, it will still hold up in court.

5. Signing and filling contracts by hand is so 2005! Take the stress out of executing your agreements by using an electronic signature platform like DocuSign, HelloSign or AdobeSign to sign and disseminate your agreements. Clients will love it!
