↗ · What it's for
A service agreement sets out what you'll deliver, on what timeline, and for what fee, then captures the client's signature to make it binding. Sending it as a form means the signed copy lands in your dashboard automatically with the full audit trail, so there's never a question about what was agreed.
Worth knowing · A template is a starting point, not legal advice. Have counsel review terms for high-value or high-risk engagements.
When to use it
- Freelancers and agencies locking scope before kicking off a project
- Service businesses (cleaning, landscaping, repair) confirming a job and price
- Consultants formalizing an engagement with deliverables and a fee
- Vendors getting a signed agreement before the first invoice

↗ · Questions
The template, answered.
Is a signed service agreement legally binding if signed online?
Yes. The signature meets ESIGN, UETA, eIDAS, and PIPEDA, and the sealed PDF carries the signer's IP, timestamp, and a tamper-evident hash. The terms themselves are as enforceable as any contract you'd sign on paper.
Can I prefill the client's details before sending?
Yes. Fill your own fields (scope, fee, dates) before you send, so the client only has to review and sign.
Can I save it as a reusable template?
Yes. Save your standard agreement once and reuse it for every client, adjusting only the parts that change.
Get the agreement signed first.
Start free with two forms. Open the service agreement starter, fill in the scope and fee, and send it for signature before you start the work.
