Services Agreement
(Pro-services Recipient) (CA)

Summary

This template is a California specific Services Agreement that sets forth the terms and conditions under which a service provider will provide services to a customer or client. This template is based on California law and contains practical guidance, drafting notes, and alternate and optional clauses. The form has terms that favor the recipient of services as opposed to the contractor performing them and is based on California law. The terms preferential to the recipient of the services include, among other things, payment and pricing terms, acceptance of work product, warranty and indemnification obligations, confidentiality obligations, non-solicitation, insurance obligations, and audit rights. At all times the service provider is a self-employed, independent contractor and not an employee of the customer. The agreement has been drafted broadly and can be used for a variety of services, and should be tailored based upon the services that will be provided and the specific duties and responsibilities negotiated and agreed to by the parties. For a template agreement with terms favoring the service provider, see Services Agreement (Pro-service Provider) (CA). For additional guidance, see Supply of Services Agreements Resource Kit.
