Service Agreement - Social Media Marketing

Nowadays, many people, especially teenagers, are using social media to catch up with friends and obtain up-to-date information. This phenomenon attracts a lot of companies to place their marketing campaigns online, which also derives the demand for a service agreement in social media marketing. It is a legally binding document between a company providing marketing service and a client, outlining the terms and conditions of such a service. Generally, this agreement provides detailed 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. One crucial aspect of this agreement is the clause pertaining to the ownership of materials, as it is essential to respect intellectual property rights in the creative work involved.
