Northstar Retail LLP · Complete document analysis before you rely on it.

sample-service-agreement.pdf·1120 KB

What does this mean?

The agreement defines a useful consulting scope and milestone fee, but the operational details determine whether it is safe to rely on. Payment is tied to client acceptance, IP transfers on final payment, and termination can happen with 15 days' notice. Clarify acceptance timelines, out-of-scope work, delay responsibility, liability cap and whether indemnity is too broad.

Catches

What to watch for

These are clauses or terms to clarify before you sign, share, or rely on the document.

High

No deemed acceptance

If the client can delay feedback indefinitely, payment tied to acceptance can get stuck.

Watch

IP transfer depends on payment

This is good for the consultant, but both sides should know exactly when ownership changes.

Watch

Liability cap has carve-outs

Caps often exclude confidentiality, IP and indemnity claims, which can create exposure beyond the fee amount.
