Service & Consulting Agreement
A service agreement is the commercial contract that governs what you deliver, what you get paid, and who owns what. This template covers the provisions service providers and their clients argue about most: scope of work, IP ownership (critical given Canada's default creator-owns-copyright rule), limitation of liability, and payment terms including late interest.
Service Provider & Client
Identify the service provider and the client.
For corporations, include the corporate designation (Inc., Ltd., Corp.).
If your annual taxable supplies exceed $30,000, you must register for and charge HST on services in Ontario. Include your registration number on all invoices.
