Service Agreement - Web-Designing Agreement

With flourishing technological development, companies that provide any kind of service often have a website for potential customers to view. In order to stand out from the fierce competition, an appealing website is an effective tool. This derives the demand for web design, and thus a web design agreement. It is a legally binding document between a company providing web design service and a client, outlining the terms and conditions of such a service. Generally, this agreement details on information such as project scope, timeline, payment terms, legal terms, etc.

By outlining all the details of the provision of service, it ensures both parties are acting professionally in a timely manner, protecting each other interests.
