A service agreement is an agreement between a company (usually referred to as the “principal”) and a service entity (usually referred to as the “service provider”). The service provider agrees to provide a service to the principal for a fee. The service provider may agree to provide a one-off service for a set fee or continuing services to the principal for a pre-determined length of time for a fee.
