What is the distinction between a contract and a Service Agreement?
A service arrangement is an agreement whereby a provider agrees with a customer to perform services. Both parties are bound by it. The term service refers only to a company’s products, advice, and information. It does not include financial or financial services.
A contract is an legally binding document that describes the terms and circumstances of a business relationship. A contract is a legal document that you sign when you purchase a product or service from a retailer. You are bound to pay for it later. Accepting employment is a sign of your agreement with your employer.
