Document background
The Service Fee Agreement is a fundamental commercial document used across Canadian jurisdictions to formalize service-based business relationships. It is particularly crucial when a business or individual provides professional, consulting, or ongoing services in exchange for fees. The agreement addresses essential elements including service scope, payment terms, performance standards, and regulatory compliance requirements under Canadian law. This document type is commonly used in both B2B and B2C contexts, though the specific terms and consumer protection provisions may vary accordingly. The Service Fee Agreement helps prevent disputes by clearly defining expectations, responsibilities, and compensation structures, while incorporating necessary provisions for tax compliance (GST/HST), liability limitations, and data protection under Canadian federal and provincial regulations.
