What is a Service Agreement?
A service agreement is a contract between a service provider and a client that spells out the work to be done, what it costs, and the terms both sides agree to. It sets clear expectations on scope, payment, timelines, and responsibilities so there's a written record if anything is ever in question.
When to use it
- A freelancer or agency starting a new client project and defining scope and fees
- A small business hiring an outside vendor for ongoing or one-time services
- Setting payment terms, deliverables, and deadlines before work begins
- Documenting who owns the work product and how either side can end the agreement
- Replacing an informal email or handshake deal with a signed, enforceable contract
- Renewing or updating terms with an existing client

Service Agreement FAQs
Is an electronically signed service agreement legally binding?
Yes. Under the U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA, and eIDAS in the EU, electronic signatures are generally as enforceable as ink signatures for most business contracts, including service agreements. Each signed document comes with a tamper-evident audit trail and a Certificate of Completion that records who signed, when, and from where. As with any contract, both parties should agree to the terms before signing.
Is tuyaform really free?
Yes, it's free forever and ad-supported. You can create, send, and sign service agreements with no watermark on your documents and no per-document charge. The signed PDF and Certificate of Completion are yours to download and keep.
Do I need a lawyer to use this template?
This template gives you a solid, professional starting point, but it isn't legal advice and doesn't replace a lawyer. For high-value contracts, unusual terms, or industry-specific requirements, it's smart to have an attorney review your agreement before you send it.
What makes the signed PDF tamper-evident?
Once both parties sign, the document is sealed and any later change would be detectable. The attached Certificate of Completion logs each signer's details, timestamps, and signing activity, giving you a verifiable record if the agreement is ever questioned.
Can I customize the scope, fees, and terms?
Yes. You can edit every section to match your project — service description, payment schedule, deadlines, confidentiality, ownership, and termination terms — before you send it for signature.
