When To Use

For use where a Service Provider desires to outsource to a Subcontractor the performance of off-site services of any type or category that Service Provider is obligated to provide to it's customer.

Services may involve any type or category of technical service including system integration, the preparation of written reports, or system design and/or programming.

For example, Service Provider is obligated to provide programming services to its customer, but Service Provider desires to outsource the services to a third party Subcontractor.

This is not a placement agreement where the Service Provider is providing technical service or consulting personnel for on-site work for the Service Provider's client.

This is a very flexible agreement for all providers of technical services of any kind who are looking for a relatively simple way not only to protect their rights to professional fees, but also to adequately "pass-through" the Service Provider's obligations to its customer when outsourcing the provision of services.

"Master Agreement Simplifies Contract Management

Master agreement provides the general terms and conditions for a possible series of projects, each defined by separate Work Order -- simplifies contract management and eliminates the need to enter into separate agreements for each project.
