Template Overview

This agreement is intended for service providers to use when a client is engaging their services for one or more projects.

It starts with the Master Agreement, which includes the legal terms such as ownership of work product, non-disclosure obligations, termination rights, and more.

It also includes a separate document, the Statement of Work, which you can use for individual projects. The SOW typically includes project-specific service and payment terms as well as unique terms that only apply to that project.
