Document background
The Client Agreement Contract serves as the foundational document for establishing professional service relationships under German law. It is specifically designed for scenarios where a service provider (whether a company or individual) enters into a formal agreement with clients for the provision of professional services. This contract type is essential for businesses operating in Germany or choosing German law as their governing law, as it incorporates all necessary elements required by the German Civil Code (BGB) and related regulations. The document is particularly valuable for protecting both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with German commercial law, data protection regulations (GDPR), and consumer protection requirements where applicable. It should be used whenever a new client engagement begins, providing clear terms for services, payments, liabilities, and operational procedures.
