Service agreements

Service agreements: scope, fees and deliverables

Make clear what is included, what costs extra and when the work is accepted.

Quick answer

A service agreement identifies the client and provider and records scope, deliverables, deadlines, fees, acceptance criteria and termination. For freelancers in Brazil, the agreement must reflect the actual relationship: its title cannot exclude employment protections when the legal requirements exist.

Scope and limits

Deliverables, included revisions and approval of additional work.

Fees and acceptance

Price, payment milestones, expenses and how delivery is checked.

Term and termination

Schedule, client dependencies, notice and handover of work already produced.
