About the Service Agreement Generator
Service agreement vs proposal
A proposal explains the work and the price. A service agreement defines the legal terms — who owns what, how disputes are handled, what happens if the client cancels. Every serious engagement needs both. Use the Business Proposal Generator for the pitch, this generator for the contract.
Payment terms that get you paid
The template supports the three most common structures: milestone-based, monthly retainer, and 50/50 (half upfront, half on delivery). Whichever you use, define the invoice cadence, the payment window (Net 7 is standard for small businesses; Net 30 for enterprise), and the late-payment interest rate.
Cancellation and IP
The two clauses that cause the most disputes after signing are cancellation (who owes what if the project ends early) and intellectual property (who owns the deliverables). The template defaults to pro-rata payment for work completed and full IP transfer to the client on final payment — the industry standard for most service businesses.
