The Legal Risk Score of a Translation Agreement Template is Low

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

  • The agreement specifies that services must commence on a fixed date, which could be problematic if either party faces unforeseen circumstances that delay the start.
  • The agreement provides for flexibility in how the services are provided. However, it does not provide flexibility in the payment terms, which could pose financial risks if the scope of the services expands or unexpected costs arise.
  • The agreement provides for termination for convenience is available.

This document provides a structured approach to managing such an agreement, which is beneficial for clarity and setting expectations. However, the rigidity in service alterations and fixed payment terms may introduce operational and financial risks that users should consider. Users familiar with service agreements will recognize these aspects as common, but should carefully consider whether the specific terms align with their needs.
