Service agreement between legal entities- This is one of the most common agreements. From how carefully legal service organization's attitude to its contents, the likelihood of losses from a possible violation of obligations under it and the reputation of the campaign largely depend. The material we propose below highlights issues related to the most common contracts of this type concluded between organizations.

Legal regulation of the provision of services by the Civil Code and other regulations

Agreements for the provision of paid services represent one of the largest groups of civil law agreements, including those concluded between legal entities. Only a small chapter is devoted to their regulation. 39 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, consisting of 5 articles, with Art. 783 allows the rules on contracting to be extended to the contract for the provision of services to the extent that does not contradict its special subject matter. Also, the provision of services is subject to the provisions of Chapter. 25 of the Civil Code on liability for non-compliance with the terms of such agreements.

Since a significant part of the agreements are concluded in areas most important to the state, such as medicine, education, audit or communications, they are additionally regulated by specialized laws and regulations, among which:

• Laws “On the Fundamentals of Health Protection...” dated November 21, 2011 No. 323-FZ, “On Auditing Activity” dated December 30, 2008 No. 307-FZ, “On Education...” No. 273-FZ, “On Communications” dated July 7, 2003 No. 126-FZ;
• Rules for the provision of paid medical services, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation in Resolution No. 1006 dated October 4, 2012;
• Rules for the provision of paid educational services, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation in Resolution No. 706 dated August 15, 2013.

The last two acts have special meaning, since they directly indicate what conditions the relevant contracts should contain. In some cases, ministries even develop sample contracts for the provision of services (for example, in the field of higher and secondary education).

Additionally, the contractual activities of the organization are regulated by its local acts.

Civil contract for the provision of services (concept and conditions)

The Civil Code defines a service agreement as an agreement under which one party (the contractor) undertakes to provide the service, and the other (the customer) undertakes to pay for it in accordance with established conditions. Such contracts closely border on other civil law agreements, for example all types of contracts, but differ in their independent subject matter.

The subject of the contract for the provision of services is actions, the obligation to perform which is assigned to the performer. According to the rules of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, only this is its essential condition, however, in accordance with Art. 432 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, other conditions may also be considered significant - those specified in the law or those on which the parties consider it necessary to reach agreement. Thus, the rules for the provision of paid medical services establish that the contract for the provision of medical services must contain information:

• about the conditions and terms of provision of services;
• payment procedure and contract price;
• rights, duties and responsibilities of the parties.

A significant feature of such an agreement is the possibility provided for by the Civil Code of unilateral refusal of its execution by either party at any time, subject to compensation for losses incurred by the counterparty. In an effort to encourage the counterparty to fulfill its obligations, the parties often prescribe the possibility of terminating the contract in court as an additional condition. This does not violate the requirements of the Civil Code, but complicates the procedure for terminating the contract.

Contract agreement and service agreement - what is the fundamental difference?

Contracts and service agreements between legal entities may seem similar or even analogous, but it is necessary to clearly distinguish between these concepts, since the final result depends on what kind of agreement is concluded. There are a number key points that must be taken into account when drawing up a contract:

1. Subject of the agreement. In the case of a contract for the provision of services, its subject is the activity of the performer itself. It must be described in as much detail as possible, and the result is not relevant to such an agreement and is not specifically provided for. For a contract, it is important to indicate final result- what the customer should receive as a result of the work performed, and this result must be material (a created item, a repair performed, etc.).
2. Timing of work. When concluding a contract for the provision of services, this condition is not essential and does not affect the parties’ obligations arising from the contract. For a work contract, such a condition is considered essential based on the provisions of paragraph 1 of Art. 708 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
3. Contact with the performer. According to Art. 780 of the Civil Code, a contract for the provision of services for a fee presupposes the personal provision of services by the performers, and only if the contract specifies otherwise, the transfer of performance to third parties is allowed. No such indication is required in the contract.
4. Termination of an agreement. Provisions of Art. 782 allow unilateral refusal to fulfill obligations under a service agreement on the part of both the contractor and the customer. The contract can be terminated either by agreement of the parties or in court.

What kind of agreement should be concluded by organizations in each specific case should be determined based on exactly what goals the parties have and what the subject of the future agreement is.

Types of agreement for the provision of services between legal entities

A legal entity has the right to enter into all types of contracts listed in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, and others, taking into account the principle of freedom of contract. Such agreements can be of either a business nature (for example, agreements on the provision of audit services) or household ones. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation defines a list of types of contracts for the provision of paid services, all of which can be concluded between legal entities.

In particular, based on the provisions of Art. 779 of the Civil Code, we can mention as an example contracts for the provision of services:

1. Connections Often, enterprises enter into contracts with operators to provide communications at corporate rates for their employees.
2. Medical. The law requires certain categories of employees to undergo regular medical examinations, for which the employer enters into an agreement with a medical organization.
3. Educational. Often large enterprises enter into contracts with educational institution for targeted training of students, paying for such services.
4. Auditing and consulting. Often, when companies pay for audit services, they also order advice on optimization of taxation and accounting.

However, according to Art. 779 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, other agreements for the provision of services between legal entities may be concluded.

One-time service agreement

The most common is a one-time agreement for the provision of services. This is the most simple form, the opposite of a multiple contract. In the first case, a one-time provision of a specific service by one legal entity for another is assumed, while in the second, the service is provided several times (sometimes even systematically).

One-time contract The provision of services between legal entities is usually concluded when all the conditions relating to a particular service are completely clear. The subject in such a situation is described specifically, as are the terms of payment for the service. After execution and payment, the legal relationship between the parties is terminated. Otherwise, such an agreement must fully comply with the requirements of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and other regulations governing specific types of activities.

Framework agreement for the provision of services

Unlike contracts for the provision of services to individuals, which are often one-time in nature, legal entities often enter into contracts for the systematic provision of services for a long period. Wherein entrepreneurial activity cannot always be accurately predicted.

If the parties have decided that in the near future they will enter into legal relations related to paid provision services, however, they cannot be absolutely sure of their volume, although otherwise they know the terms of the future agreement, they can enter into a framework agreement, i.e. an agreement with open terms. Such an agreement is aimed, rather, at identifying a specific counterparty and does not imply precise wording, but allows you to record the intention to receive and pay for services in the future, as well as specify the conditions that are already known. Most often we are talking about the amount of penalties/fines and the price of services. As a rule, such agreements are multiple, but the law does not prohibit concluding a framework agreement for one-time services.

When drawing up such an agreement, it is important to correctly combine specificity and streamlined wording. So, if it is desirable to specify the price and payment procedure as much as possible (even including a price list), then from detailed description It is better to refuse the list of services. It is advisable to establish which documents will be accepted to clarify the terms of the contract, as well as determine the obligation of the counterparty to accept them.

Framework and preliminary agreement - what is the difference and what to choose?

Sometimes parties confuse the concepts of framework and preliminary agreements. However, there is a fundamental difference between them:

1. In the case of concluding a framework agreement, the parties are not required to sign the main agreement, while the preliminary agreement, by virtue of Art. 429 of the Civil Code, presupposes a mandatory conclusion of the main one (even if this means going to court).
2. The framework agreement does not provide for a clear and full description the subject of the contract, its qualitative and quantitative characteristics. Preliminary presupposes the presence of all essential conditions (in the case of a service agreement, this is the subject).
3. A preliminary agreement presupposes the signing of a future agreement in the same form, while a framework agreement can be specified by the main agreement, applications, or in another way.

However, the parties, by concluding a framework agreement, can still protect themselves from failure to fulfill its terms or the counterparty’s refusal to continue cooperation in the future. For example, you can fix a condition on penalties in connection with refusal to provide a service.

When deciding on the type of contract, you need to proceed from the goals you have set for yourself. If the goal is to be guaranteed to conclude an agreement in the future, then it is worth choosing a preliminary one, but if the goal is to sign an agreement with the most free terms and the ability to easily change the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the subject of the agreement at the discretion of the parties, then the choice, of course, should be made in favor of the framework one.

Tripartite agreement for the provision of services

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation does not contain restrictions on the number of participants in the contract for the provision of services, i.e. at least two are sufficient. However, such agreements can also be tripartite, for example in the case where a contract is concluded for the provision of services by one company, and payment is made by another. When concluding such service agreements between legal entities, it is worth taking into account some features related to their tripartite nature:

1. Payment procedure. It is important to determine what kind of payment and in what order the paying party makes the payment.
2. Work acceptance procedure. For example, it can be established whether representatives of the paying party and the service recipient (customer) can represent each other’s interests upon acceptance.
3. The consequences of refusal to fulfill the contract by each party, the fate of the contract in the future in this case.
4. Procedure for filing claims. It is necessary to decide whether representatives of the payer and service recipient can represent each other’s interests in contractual disputes.

Where can I download a sample contract for the provision of services and how to draw up a standard version of the contract?

The answer to this question depends on what kind of contract for the provision of services between legal entities needs to be concluded. For example, a sample agreement for the provision of educational services was developed and approved by the Ministry of Education and Science by order No. 1267 dated November 21, 2013. It is not necessary to apply it in practice unchanged, but it is worth focusing on it when drawing up your document.

Also, one of the sample agreements for the provision of services between legal entities is available for download on our website. To adapt it to a specific transaction, it is enough to indicate the data required in each specific case:

• details of the agreement;
• names of the parties;
• subject of the transaction (detailed description of the service);
• transaction cost and payment procedure.

If desired, you can include the terms for the provision of services, features of the procedure for resolving disputes arising from the contract and a clause on termination of the agreement.

In conclusion, it remains to be said that service agreements between legal entities can be of a very diverse nature and largely depend on the specifics of the organization’s activities. The main thing in any case is to describe their subject in as much detail as possible. If this is not possible, then you can limit yourself to a framework agreement, which will allow you to fix the relationship with the counterparty without a detailed description of the subject of the transaction.

It is often said that modern world based on the market of intangible objects. Indeed, not only the number of companies offering assistance in various fields of activity is growing, but also the network of their relationships with each other. Any interaction must be regulated.

Usually, service agreement between legal entities implies their provision in exchange for a monetary equivalent, that is, it is compensated. Less common is barter, that is, the mutual assistance of two or more legal entities to each other. For example, a law firm helps an accounting firm with documents, and that in turn takes on the audit. The provision of gratuitous assistance of any kind by one commercial company to another, as well as donations, is prohibited. A commercial organization can only provide assistance free of charge to a non-profit organization.

In general, the structure and meaning of the agreement are almost no different from contracts between individuals. But there is a difference with work contracts - the provision of services does not always have an end result. The procedure for such transactions is regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and special laws (in accordance with the type of activity of the executing company).

• Parties' data. Both companies must be uniquely identified. Full names, OGRN, TIN and legal addresses are entered. Contact information is indicated at the beginning and duplicated at the end of the document before the signatures.
• Rights and obligations. The provision of services between legal entities in each specific case is regulated by certain conditions. Make sure you are happy with everything. Contact a lawyer if anything is unclear.
• Price. Please also pay attention to payment terms. All actions must strictly comply with the agreement.

• Responsibility of the parties. Consider everything possible options developments and double-check these points, in particular, penalties in case of improper performance of duties and termination conditions.

First, you need to additionally familiarize yourself with the company’s activities and supporting documents (permits, acts, certificates, etc.). Reliable information can be obtained in a single state register. The responsibilities of the performer also include providing complete and truthful information about the assistance he provides.

Often, a service agreement between legal entities is the result of lengthy negotiations, both personal and remote. The standard form meets all the necessary requirements, but can be supplemented and changed. A sample is provided on this page. The execution of the contract is confirmed by official documents provided for under its terms.

If you have any questions about legal outsourcing, please contact the consultants of the Spravedlivost company; we guarantee an individual approach at all stages of cooperation.

A service agreement between legal entities is an agreement between two companies that one of them (the contractor) provides certain services to the other company (the customer), which has undertaken to pay for them.

Sample contract and its features

The main thing in this agreement is the process of performing the required activities. If the customer wishes to receive the material result of the services (in the form of some kind of document on a pre-agreed storage medium), then this is indicated in the contract.

This document is drawn up according to the following template:

• Name, date and place of signing;
• Names, addresses and details of the parties, their representatives;
• Subject of the agreement (usually briefly, detailed information the type, timing and procedure for the provision of services is given in the list of services or task, issued as a separate appendix);
• Rights and obligations of the customer and contractor;
• Cost of services provided and payment procedure;
• Procedure for acceptance of services (the Acceptance Certificate is signed, which is also an annex to the contract);
• Responsibility borne by the parties;
• general information(force majeure; confidentiality; disputes; modification, extension and termination of the contract);
• Legal address, full details, signatures, seals.

In the above sample standard contract Additional provisions are made depending on what services are to be provided. Usually it is in simple written form.

Services provided within the framework of this document between legal entities are always paid. Gratuitous actions are equivalent to donation; The legislation of the Russian Federation prohibits such actions between two commercial organizations, since this contradicts the purpose of their creation - making a profit.

In order for the contract not to be declared void, it is necessary to indicate at least the most low price and pay the appropriate tax.

The only exception is an agreement where the customer is represented by a non-profit organization. He may accept certain services as a gift.

Legal and medical services

Most often, the parties agree to provide legal services. The contract or annex to it must clarify the composition of these services and indicate qualifications in the field of law and law. The section regarding cost should stipulate that the customer will pay the contractor's legal costs (if any).

Payment is provided only after the actions listed in the contract are completed. The customer has no right to refuse to pay for services received.

If we are talking about small disputes, then an agreement for the provision of legal services is often concluded between individuals. In this case, individual citizens prefer to contact a private lawyer or attorney rather than a law firm. The format of the contract remains unchanged; only instead of the organization’s details, the passport details of the parties are indicated.

A contract for medical services is signed if the actions of the performer are aimed at prevention, diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation. If this is an agreement between legal entities, then third parties appear in it (employees or clients of the customer company, in whose favor this agreement is concluded and to whom these services are provided).

The Russian Ministry of Health has established a procedure for the provision of medical care, which the contractor must strictly adhere to when selling medical services. At the end of the cooperation, he must prepare documentation on the health status of those persons who received medical care.

The customer, for his part, ensures the accuracy and completeness of the information necessary to organize such assistance.

Agreements concluded to save money

The purpose of consulting services is to optimize the business of a particular enterprise. These include:

• Increasing the efficiency of the company's commercial activities;
• Increasing employee interest and increasing their productivity;
• Organizational improvements;
• Introduction of innovations in the field of marketing;
• Creation effective system manuals.

Consulting services are widely in demand, as they provide good result for a reasonable price. Instead of a long process of training its own personnel and paying for their work on an ongoing basis, a company can hire specialists in this field for some time and assign them specific task. This provides cost savings and greater flexibility in an ever-changing market.

If an organization does not have available funds, it can enter into an agreement for the mutual provision of services. The principle of its operation is: “you - to me, I - to you.” One company provides certain services in a specified manner and within a specified time frame in exchange for the same actions from another company.

No settlement is usually provided unless the scope of work performed by one party is noticeably different from the scope of work performed by the other party. In this case, a clause on recalculation and additional payment is included in the contract. In such an agreement, it is important to specify in detail all the actions that are expected from the participants.

Thus, the contract for the provision of services between legal entities has a standard form, into which minor changes are made related to what services will be provided. A correctly drawn up contract protects the interests of both parties and guarantees the fulfillment of necessary actions and receiving appropriate payment for them.
