Common questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

What is a service contract?
A service contract (also called a service agreement or master services agreement / MSA) is a legal contract between a service provider and a client that defines the services to be performed, payment terms, timeline, IP ownership, confidentiality obligations, and procedures for resolving disputes or terminating the relationship. It protects both parties by setting clear expectations before work begins.
What clauses must a service contract include?
A complete service contract should include at minimum: (1) Scope of services — what is and is not included; (2) Payment terms — amount, schedule, late fee rules; (3) IP ownership — who owns deliverables and pre-existing IP; (4) Limitation of liability — caps on damages to protect your business; (5) Confidentiality — protect sensitive business information; (6) Dispute resolution — how disagreements are handled (mediation, arbitration, or court); (7) Termination — how either party can end the contract. LegalStack generates all 7 automatically.
How is a service contract different from a contractor agreement?
A service contract is broader — it can cover agreements with businesses, contractors, freelancers, vendors, and enterprise clients. A contractor agreement specifically governs the relationship with an independent worker (IC). Service contracts tend to be more detailed on payment terms, IP ownership, and liability because the stakes are typically higher (larger dollar amounts, multiple projects).
Is LegalStack free to use?
Yes — the service contract generator is completely free. No account, no credit card, no signup required. Generate a state-specific service contract in under 5 minutes.
Can I use a service contract for a freelance project?
Yes. A service contract works for freelancers, consultants, agencies, and any business providing services to clients. LegalStack generates the full contract with all standard provisions — scope, payment, IP, liability, confidentiality, and termination — ready to send for signature.
