A distinctive feature of such agreements is that such transactions do not entail obligations of a material nature (transfer of property, etc.).
What are the characteristics of a service agreement?
Since the services provided here cannot be expressed in certain units (measured in meters, kilograms, etc.), and accounting is taken only based on the area of activity, the list of services provided is quite voluminous.
This list may include consulting services, recruitment of personnel for vacant positions in the organization, accounting, cleaning of premises, etc.
Also, a number of organizations, taking into account the crisis situation in the state, in order to save on specialists, hire them for a certain period to perform a given amount of work.
What rules are followed when drawing up service agreements?
Such an agreement, however, like any other in which legal entities are parties, must:
- be made exclusively in writing;
- include a sufficient amount of information to coordinate the actions of the participants within the framework of the agreement;
- fully comply with the legislative norms in force in the state.
Features of the executed agreement:
- it should indicate what type of services will be provided, for what period, and the method chosen for this. For example, staff training may require specialists to travel to the location of the customer’s office. If there is a need to describe in more detail the actions assigned to the performer, an additional, clarifying annex may be drawn up to the agreement;
- The specific method used to ensure proper provision of services is indicated:
- The Contractor carries out independent actions to provide services. Mainly, this happens if the contractor is a specialized organization. This could be a company responsible for conducting an audit, a sports complex, etc.;
- To perform individual actions, a co-executor is involved. This option is used if the organization (the main contractor) cannot carry out the entire list of work independently and needs to attract outside specialists;
- The customer can participate in the selection of a co-executor. This clause can be included in the contract at the request of the customer, who insists on his participation in the selection of co-executors in order to ensure the latter’s qualifications;
- The work is carried out without approval. In this case, the contractor is given the opportunity, at his own discretion, to select assistants for the proper execution of the order.
The next stage involves determining the procedure for reimbursement of expenses incurred during the execution of work.
Which party initially bears the costs, how can they be reimbursed, and how are they negotiated?
All specified requirements must be taken into account in advance, at the stage of agreeing on the terms of the agreement between the parties.
It is also necessary to pay special attention to the issue of agreeing on payment terms for services performed. Payment can be made in advance (in part or in full), divided into periods, in stages (as services are provided), or upon completion of the work.
Any payments between legal entities must be made non-cash.

Why do you need a work contract?
Before drawing up the DDA, you need to figure out whether it is needed?
The DDA is a document on the basis of which the party acting as the Contractor undertakes to fulfill the task of the customer-employer. Based on the executed agreement, the customer assumes the obligation to pay for the work performed. Registration of the DDA is regulated by the legislative norms outlined in Chapter. 37 Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The conditions of each DDA are individual, since each specific option contains factors that influence the list of works and their payment.
The DDA must contain essential conditions, without which the agreement will not be given legal status.
A DDA can be issued between:
- Organizations.
- Individuals.
- Legal and individual.
For example, if it is necessary to repair a roof at an enterprise, you can enter into an agreement with an individual who is a specialist in this field.
Relations between the parties to the transaction are regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which outlines 4 types of work:
- At the household level.
- Construction works.
- Carrying out design and survey work.
- Execution of work under government orders.
Depending on the type of work performed, the agreement specifies different essential conditions. For example, a construction contract is somewhat different from a household contract.
In what cases is it used
A work contract can be used when:
- In domestic contracting to perform household work at the request of the customer. This is a public agreement that is regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, as well as regulations and corresponding acts for the protection of consumer rights.
- When contracting for construction - for the construction of an object according to the instructions of the customer. At the same time, the customer provides the conditions for the work, accepts the object, and upon completion pays for the work.
- When performing design and survey work, for the development of technical documentation and for carrying out survey work on the instructions of the customer.
- When fulfilling government orders. Work on government orders is carried out on the basis of concluded state or municipal contracts.
How to correctly draw up a contract for the provision of services?
The attorney has a number of responsibilities specified in Art. 974 Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The main requirement is to comply with the terms of the agreement in full, including informing the principal about all stages of the transaction at the first request or within the time limits established in the contract. Unless otherwise provided, the attorney undertakes to personally provide services under the agreement.
Art. 975 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation determined a number of obligations of the principal. He must draw up a power of attorney in the name of the attorney to perform services under the agency agreement. If the contract is paid, then the principal undertakes to pay the remuneration in a timely manner.
Termination of an agreement can occur in several cases, for example, cancellation of an order by the principal or refusal of the attorney to fulfill obligations. The death of the principal is also grounds for termination of the agreement and power of attorney.
