Document background
The Commercial Service Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for business-to-business service arrangements in Ireland. This document is essential when establishing professional service relationships, whether for ongoing services or project-based work. It provides comprehensive coverage of service delivery terms, performance standards, and commercial conditions while ensuring compliance with Irish law and EU regulations. The agreement is particularly valuable for businesses engaging external service providers, consultants, or specialized professionals, as it clearly defines expectations, responsibilities, and risk allocation between parties. It includes provisions for service levels, payment terms, intellectual property rights, data protection, and other critical aspects of the service relationship, making it suitable for various commercial contexts from IT services to professional consulting.
