This article is about a service agreement that is made between a contractor and a customer for services to be rendered by the contractor. The agreement lays out the contractor's obligations, completion date, payment terms, and termination clauses, among other details.

The agreement defines the work that is to be carried out by the contractor, the completion date, and the agreed price. The contractor is responsible for carrying out the work with due diligence and in a good and workmanlike manner using good quality materials and a high standard of workmanship. The contractor must also comply with any instructions or variations issued by the customer, and any instructions given to the contractor by a competent person in charge shall be deemed to have been issued to the contractor.

The work must be completed by the completion date, but if it becomes apparent that the work will not be completed by the completion date, the customer may grant such an extension of the time for completion as it thinks fair and reasonable. If the work is not completed by the completion date, the customer is entitled to liquidated damages.

Any defects, excessive shrinkages or other faults that appear within the warranty period must be made good by the contractor at its own expense. The contractor shall not assign the agreement or sub-contract the performance thereof without the prior written consent of the customer.

The customer may issue instructions requiring the exclusion from the site of the work of any person employed thereon. The customer shall pay the agreement price to the contractor within the agreed-upon timeframe. All materials and goods delivered to or placed on or adjacent to the site and intended for the work shall become the property of the customer.

The contractor shall be liable for and shall indemnify the customer against any expense, liability, loss, claim, or proceedings in respect of personal injury to or death of any person arising out of or in the course of or caused by the carrying out of the work. The contractor shall also be liable for and indemnify the customer against any expense, liability, loss, claim, or proceedings in respect of any damage whatsoever to any property arising out of or in the course of or caused by the carrying out of the work.

Either party may terminate the agreement if the other party becomes bankrupt or makes any composition or arrangement with their creditors or has a winding-up order made or a receiver or manager of its business or undertaking is appointed. The customer may also terminate the agreement if the contractor fails to proceed diligently with the work or wholly or substantially breaches any of the provisions of the agreement.
