A general-purpose contract for professional services. Covers scope of work, compensation, intellectual property ownership, and confidentiality between a service provider and client.
KEY TERMS
The Service Provider agrees to perform the following services for the Client as mutually agreed upon and as may be further described in any applicable statement of work or project brief attached hereto.
In consideration for the services rendered, the Client agrees to pay the Service Provider the fees as agreed upon. Payment terms: net 30 days from invoice date unless otherwise specified.
The Service Provider is an independent contractor and not an employee of the Client. The Service Provider is responsible for all taxes, insurance, and expenses related to the performance of services.
All work product, deliverables, and materials created by the Service Provider specifically for the Client under this Agreement shall become the property of the Client upon full payment of all fees.
Both parties agree to keep confidential all proprietary information disclosed during the performance of this Agreement and not to disclose such information to third parties without prior written consent.
Frequently Asked Questions
A service agreement should cover scope of work, compensation and payment terms, intellectual property ownership, confidentiality, liability limits, and termination conditions. Noira's template includes all of these as standard clauses.
Yes — a service agreement is a type of contract. The term is often used for professional or creative services where the deliverable is work product rather than a physical good.
By default, the creator owns the IP unless the agreement explicitly assigns it. Noira's template assigns IP to the client upon full payment, which is the industry-standard arrangement for commissioned work.
Yes, if the agreement includes a termination clause. Noira's template allows either party to terminate with 30 days written notice, and specifies payment for work completed up to the termination date.
Verbal service agreements can be enforceable, but they are difficult to prove. A written agreement — especially one stored onchain with cryptographic signatures — eliminates ambiguity and provides clear evidence of the terms.
