The Monthly Retainer Agreement is designed for situations where a business requires regular, ongoing professional services from a service provider, establishing a formal framework for a continuous business relationship under Belgian law. This document is particularly useful when services need to be provided on a regular basis without the need for repeated contract negotiations. The agreement includes comprehensive details about service scope, performance standards, payment terms, and reporting requirements, while ensuring compliance with Belgian commercial regulations and the Civil Code. It's commonly used by professional service firms, consultancies, and other service providers who offer ongoing support or regular services to their clients. The document provides clarity on the rights and obligations of both parties, includes specific provisions for termination and service levels, and addresses key aspects of Belgian business law such as VAT requirements and payment terms regulations.
