How To

What is the difference between service agreements and contracts?

A service agreement describes an agreement in which a provider offers to provide services for a client. It creates an obligation between the parties. The term "service" can be used to refer to the products, information, advice, or other services offered by a company.

A contract is an legally binding document that describes the terms and circumstances of a business relationship. If you buy a product directly from a retailer, you've entered into a contractual agreement. You have the right to make payment for the item in due time. Accepting employment is a sign of your agreement with your employer.

The service agreement does not require any documentation. It is rare to use a written service contract in practice. Verbal agreements are more common.

However, service agreements have many advantages over contracts:

1. A service contract is more flexible that a contract.
2. It allows a service company to change its mind without being penalized.
