Document background
The Client Agreement Contract serves as a foundational document for establishing professional service relationships under Austrian law. It is primarily used when a service provider (whether an individual consultant, professional firm, or corporation) needs to formalize their business relationship with a client. This contract type is essential for clearly defining the scope of services, payment terms, delivery expectations, and legal obligations of both parties. The document incorporates requirements from key Austrian legislation including the ABGB, UGB, and KSchG, while ensuring compliance with EU regulations such as GDPR. It's particularly important for businesses operating in Austria's professional services sector, providing protection and clarity for both service providers and clients through detailed terms and conditions, risk allocation, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
