FAQ

Is this contract legally binding?

Yes, when properly filled out and signed by both parties. However, this is a general template — laws vary by jurisdiction, and some situations require specific clauses. For high-value or complex agreements, have a local attorney review before signing.

Can I modify the clauses?

Absolutely. This is a starting point. Open it in the Konomic editor to add, remove, or rewrite any section to fit your specific needs.

How do I send this for signature?

After customizing, use Konomic's Sign Request feature. Upload the contract, enter the other party's email, and they'll receive a link to sign electronically. No account needed for the signer.

What's the difference between this and an NDA?

A service contract defines the work and payment relationship. An NDA only protects confidential information. Many service contracts include NDA clauses, but if you only need confidentiality protection before starting work, use the standalone NDA template instead.
