Document background
The Monthly Retainer Contract is essential for businesses operating in Belgium that require or provide regular, ongoing professional services. This document type is commonly used when a service provider agrees to make their services available to a client on a continuous basis in exchange for a fixed monthly fee. The contract, governed by Belgian law and compliant with the reformed Belgian Civil Code of 2019, typically includes detailed provisions on service scope, payment terms, performance standards, and mutual obligations. It's particularly valuable for professional service firms, consultancies, and agencies that maintain ongoing client relationships, as it provides clarity on service expectations and ensures regular revenue streams while offering clients guaranteed access to professional support. The document incorporates necessary provisions for compliance with both Belgian national law and applicable EU regulations, particularly regarding data protection and electronic commerce.
