The Legal Risk Score of a Services Agreement (Pro-Supplier) Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • There is a possibility of financial strain due to the provision allowing the Supplier to vary fees with notice, which could impact budgeting and financial planning for the services.
  • Intellectual property rights remain with the Supplier, which might limit the Client's use of the outcomes from the services to only what is explicitly agreed upon, potentially restricting broader application or benefits from the work.
  • The document allows the Supplier to use subcontractors to fulfill the services, which could lead to variability in the quality and timeliness of the delivered services depending on the subcontractors' standards and reliability.

Overall, this document provides a structured framework for a service agreement but carries financial and operational risks primarily skewed towards the Client. Users familiar with service agreements will recognise the importance of closely managing scope, costs, and execution as specified, but should be cautious of the potential for additional costs and the limited control over intellectual property and subcontractor involvement.
