What is a standard service agreement? An agreement is a legally executed formalized agreement between the parties to perform and pay for various services. With the help of our research, you can get a clear picture for yourself of what nuances must be taken into account when drawing up a contract for the provision of services, which rules can be taken more lightly, and on the basis of which legislative framework standard contracts are drawn up.
We will consider the following points: the form standard contract what is it and how do the official parties concluding an agreement behave, for what purpose is an additional Agreement to the contract and what should be the standard form of the contract.
What is a Standard Service Agreement?
The Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which regulates contractual obligations, clarifies the question of what it is and how it differs service agreement from contracts.
Briefly, the essence of the contract is as follows: two parties participate in the contract, they agree that one party undertakes to perform the service in the form of any actions, and the second party undertakes to pay for the work performed in time in the volume of services provided. What is important in this type of contracts is its personal nature, which gives this type of contracts a resemblance to, that is, the person who is registered in the contract as the contractor, and must provide these services. If we were dealing with a work contract, then the contractor, on the contrary, has the right to hire another contractor to fulfill contractual obligations. Relations with this contractor will be regulated by a subcontract.
Apart from employment contract, service agreement has a lot common features and with a contract. However, the essential difference between these contracts is the result: if in the work contract the result of the execution of the contract is the material value, for example, a bridge or a house built by the contractor, then this is not necessary in the service contract. For example, the search and registration of the purchase of this house by a real estate agency is regulated precisely by a service agreement.
It should be noted that in addition to ordinary services, the performance of which is regulated by a service contract in accordance with the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, there are many complex services, the performance of which is also controlled by special legislation. Such services include medical, advertising and legal services, to determine all the nuances of which the usual agreement of the parties will be clearly not enough.
Form of a model contract for the provision of services, parties to the contract and a model agreement form
In a service agreement, as the name implies, two parties must participate:
- The customer of the service is a party that undertakes to accept the work and pay for it.
- Contractor - that is, a person who undertakes to perform an ordered service or a set of services.
In this type of contract, both the customer and the contractor can be both an individual and a legal entity. There are no special requirements for the parties to the contract in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
In a situation where the customer is a person, and the contractor is an entrepreneur without legal education. person or organization, services are called household. In this case, the regulation of relations between the parties to this agreement includes the rules of consumer services for the population and
For agreements, the amount of which does not exceed 10 thousand rubles, writing the contract is not necessary, although in most cases of the provision of services, the contract is still drawn up.
For household services performed in the presence of the customer, the formalization of relations is carried out by transferring the paid cash receipt, in other cases, registration can take place both in the form of a signed contract, and in the form of a completed receipt. The receipt must list all important and the necessary conditions.
Essential conditions and additional requirements of the contract for the provision of services
Each contract for the provision of services for a fee must contain the following necessary conditions (they are also called essential):
- The first is the subject of the contract, that is, a description of the essence of the service, up to the listing of the necessary and quite specific actions that must be performed by the contractor in order for the service to be considered completed. The service must be spelled out in the contract with all clarity, excluding any ambiguous interpretations.
- The second essential condition is the timing of the start of the provision of services and their completion, when the service must be performed.
These are the necessary conditions. In addition to them, the contract may reflect additional conditions that it is advisable to include there to avoid various interpretations. Additional conditions include:
- Place of performance of the agreed service
- Service quality requirements
- The cost of the services provided. In the absence of such a clause in the contract, it is usually assumed that the price of the service for the customer is equal to the average amount that is usually charged for a similar service.
- Responsibility of the parties for failure to comply with the terms of the contract. For example, paying a fine for inadequate work quality.
- Other conditions included in the text of the contract at the request of the parties, depending on the type of work.
In addition to these conditions, you can add to your fee-for-service contract also extra. the condition of prepayment, both full and partial, and, if necessary, formalize the right of the contractor to involve any third parties in the performance of work on the performance of the service.
Additional agreement when concluding a standard contract for the provision of services
A common practice is the execution of additional agreements to the contract already in the course of work.
This condition is implemented when, in the course of work to fulfill the terms of the contract, previously not obvious conditions arise that are important for the implementation of the transaction, or when there is an obvious need for both parties to make changes to the already executed terms of the transaction.
An additional agreement is drawn up as an annex to the main agreement and its integral part.
The parties resort to such additional agreement most often in the case of a long term of the contract, during the execution of which conditions arise for price adjustments. For example: if educational agreement is for the entire period of study, which is several years, then the annual increase in the price of education is made out precisely in such an additional. agreement to the contract. The second example is add. an agreement is drawn up to change the procedure for considering disagreements between the parties, to extend the term of the contract, to introduce new conditions for prepayment, etc.
Under the contract for the provision of services, the contractor undertakes to perform certain actions on the instructions of the customer. And the customer undertakes to pay for the services rendered (clause 1 of article 779 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The list of services forms the subject of the contract, so they should be spelled out in it as specifically as possible.
In addition, in the contract for the provision of services it makes sense to indicate (if possible):
- the volume of services provided, for example, the number of teaching hours that the teacher will have to conduct;
- place of provision of services, if the contractor will have to clean the territory, provide security for the premises, etc.;
- other characteristics, including the result of services. It is clear that when providing, for example, consulting services, there may not be a materialized result. At the same time, the work of an appraiser or auditor, as a rule, ends with a written conclusion, which can be considered a certain result.
If the subject matter of the contract is not agreed, then general rule the contract is considered void. This means that none of the parties has the right to demand the fulfillment of obligations under it from the other party (clause 1 of article 432, clause 1 of article 425 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
Contract for the provision of services
In the contract for the provision of services in without fail the price is indicated - the monetary value of the cost of services, as well as the obligation of the customer to pay for the services (Articles 779, 781 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The price in the contract is set in a fixed amount, or it prescribes the procedure for its calculation, if the cost of services (before they are provided) cannot be determined in advance. It also specifies the condition for the inclusion of VAT in the price.
With regard to payment for services by the customer, the contract for the provision of services between legal entities should contain:
- payment order ( prepayment or after the provision of services) and the payment term (calendar date, the expiration of a certain number of days, calculated from due date or events, etc.);
- form of payment - non-cash, in cash, through counter agreements (clause 2, article 861, article 862 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Remember that when making cash payments between organizations and / or individual entrepreneurs, you cannot transfer more than 100 thousand rubles. under one agreement (clause 6 of the Instruction of the Bank of Russia dated 07.10.2013 N 3073-U).

From the Artist: |
Relationships between any economic entities are regulated by certain documents. One of the types of such agreements is a contract for the provision of services. What kind of document it is, the features of its preparation, as well as the procedure for filling it out, we will consider in our article.
What is a contract?
It is not uncommon for individuals or companies to require the assistance of professionals who are not available on their own staff. The process of obtaining certain assistance from outside firms or individuals must be documented. In order for both parties to comply with the terms of the transaction, an agreement is drawn up that regulates their rights and obligations.
Such a document regulates each stage of the relationship between the parties. The contractor is obliged to provide certain services at the request of the customer. The customer guarantees their payment. Other documents may be attached to the agreement - estimates, specifications and other calculations. Acceptance of work is documented by issuing an act of acceptance and delivery of work performed.
When is a contract necessary?
There is no clear legal separation between works and services in the law. In practice, a standard contract for the provision of services is drawn up when it comes to intangible activities. That is, when performing actions that do not have a final material expression.
Directions of the service sector are characterized by such qualities as intangibility, inseparability and perishability. Intangibility implies that the result of the performer's activity cannot be touched or tasted. Inseparability implies simultaneous giving and consumption. Non-persistence means that the result of the performer's activity cannot be saved for further implementation.
The works in which the agreement under consideration is used can conditionally be divided into several types. Turning to law enforcement practice, one can notice that the following are more common in Russia:
- Legal;
- medical;
- Advertising;
- Consulting;
- Accounting;
- security;
- Educational.
Paid provision of services involves the receipt of remuneration by the contractor. The law allows such agreements to be drawn up between individuals and legal entities. However, in reality, the customer is more often small company, and the executor is a large organization.
At the same time, it is an individual who is the most economically profitable option for cooperation. Businesses have many costs. The individual is wasting only his time, knowledge and energy.
It is noteworthy that the execution construction works done through a contract. In addition, the agreement in question is not used when providing a service for the transportation of goods or passengers.
Some of the listed activities require a license. Cooperation with a counterparty that does not have the required qualifications may be invalidated.
Features of a standard contract for the provision of services
Its main features in 2018 include the following:
- The parties are any economic entities;
- The contractor performs everything independently, unless otherwise agreed in advance;
- The customer may refuse to cooperate by paying the costs incurred by the counterparty;
- The Contractor may waive its obligations, fully indemnifying the customer for losses.
Considering the various needs of private and legal entities, there are quite a few types of such documents. Their conditions are reflected in model rules particular industry or organization. Each type is detailed based on the needs of the parties.
The procedure for filling out a standard contract for the provision of services
If the customer is an individual and the contractor is a company, then the agreement is governed by the Consumer Rights Protection Law. When concluding a transaction with a legal entity, it is necessary to check the authority of the person signing the papers.
Agreements are made in writing with the following points:
- Place and date;
- data from both sides. An individual indicates passport and contact details. The legal entity specifies the details. It is important to indicate who exactly and on what basis acts on behalf of the company;
- Subject. The type of work that the contractor undertakes to perform is indicated;
- Information about the price of work and the option of making calculations;
- Term;
- Responsibility for non-compliance with obligations or their improper performance;
- Dispute resolution method;
- Requisites, signatures (seals).
A sample contract for the provision of services may contain other information directly related to the transaction.
Common Mistakes
The most common errors in the conclusion of this type of document include the following:
- The text is not based on law. That is, it does not use ready-made definitions and formulations from legislative acts;
- When compiling, words and phrases are used that have an ambiguous interpretation;
- The subject of cooperation is not clearly defined;
- The final requirements that the result must meet are not defined.
Many business entities tend to reduce the workflow. At the same time, oral interaction can lead to the appearance of more more errors. In some cases, it is basically impossible.
Responsibility of the parties under the contract for the provision of services
Each party to the transaction has certain rights but at the same time bears responsibility for the undertaken obligations. The responsibility of the parties under the contract is negotiated before its conclusion and is a fundamental point. In the form of liability for improper performance or non-performance of obligations, the following is usually determined:
- Compensation for damages;
- payment of a penalty;
- Interest payment.
If the contractor has not fulfilled his obligations in full, he must compensate the customer for the losses caused through his fault. In this case, damages do not only include the damage caused. It also includes lost profits.
The concept of price and guarantee of the contractor
One of the mandatory items included in a sample contract for the provision of services is its cost. The rules for determining the price are regulated by law. The document itself indicates the price of the required work or the method of its calculation. If the volume of the latter is too large, then the total cost can be calculated by drawing up an estimate.
The contract price can be:
- Definite, i.e. set in absolute value;
- Definable. This means dependent on some factor. In this case, the price is fixed not in a fixed form, but as certain conditions that allow it to be determined later.
- open. This price is not immediately known. It is determined in the future based on preconditions, outside opinion or market conditions.
An important part of the agreement is its duration. The initial and final period for the fulfillment of obligations must be documented. In some cases, specific deadlines are also determined for individual, that is, intermediate stages.
Any service must be of proper quality. This means that the end result of the contractor's activity must comply with the terms of the agreement. If these conditions were not taken into account in the contract for the provision of services, then the quality is determined by other requirements. Usually those that are standardly presented to works of one kind or another.
Quality assurance is divided into legal and contractual. The first are guarantees provided by law. The second are those accepted by the contractor in accordance with the contract and prescribed in it.
Completion and acceptance of works
The final result of high-quality and timely performance of work is usually documented by an act of acceptance. When providing a large amount of work, it is inconvenient to draw up an act in each case, but this issue cannot be ignored.
The act is not always drawn up in the form of a document signed by the parties. Sometimes it is necessary to define in writing the rule on acceptance of services in the absence of objections from the customer. Such acceptance is formalized by drawing up a unilateral act.
Competent compilation of any legal document requires detailed study. To take into account all the possible nuances, you need to review each clause of the agreement several times. This will help to avoid moral and material costs in the future in case of disputes.
