Recurring Service Agreement

For ongoing work billed on a schedule. Use this when the customer is buying a repeating service, not a one-off job.

The three things that cause almost every dispute in a service business are scope, access, and cancellation. Sections 2, 4 and 9 exist for exactly that reason. Do not delete them.

1. The parties

Service provider[YOUR LEGAL BUSINESS NAME], [LLC / sole proprietor] of [CITY, STATE]
Customer[CUSTOMER LEGAL NAME]
Service address[FULL ADDRESS WHERE WORK HAPPENS]
Start date[DATE]

2. What is included

The provider will perform the following on the schedule below. Anything not listed here is not included.

3. What is not included

The following are expressly excluded and will be quoted separately if requested:

4. Access

The customer will provide access to the service address on the agreed schedule, including [keys / codes / parking / water / power]. If the provider arrives as scheduled and cannot get access, the visit counts as performed and is billable at [$AMOUNT or 100% of the visit rate].

5. Price and payment

Rate[$AMOUNT] per [visit / month]
Billing[e.g. monthly in advance, on the 1st]
Payment dueWithin [NUMBER] days of the invoice date
Accepted methods[LIST METHODS]
Late payment[$AMOUNT or PERCENT] after [NUMBER] days. Service may pause until the balance is current.

Sales tax is [included / added at the rate required by law]. The provider is responsible for its own taxes on its own income.

6. Price changes

The rate holds for [NUMBER] months. After that the provider may change it with [NUMBER, e.g. 30] days written notice. The customer may cancel under section 9 if they do not accept the change.

7. Supplies and equipment

[The provider supplies everything / The customer supplies X]. Equipment brought on site stays the property of whoever brought it.

8. Insurance and workers

The provider carries [TYPE AND LIMITS OF COVERAGE] and will provide a certificate on request. Anyone the provider brings on site is the provider's worker or subcontractor, not the customer's employee.

9. Cancellation

Either party may end this agreement with [NUMBER, e.g. 30] days written notice, for any reason, with no penalty. Work performed before the end date is still payable. Neither party has to give a reason.

Either party may end it immediately for [non-payment / unsafe conditions / repeated access failure].

10. Damage and claims

The provider will report any damage it causes within [NUMBER] hours and repair or replace at its own cost. The customer will report any claim within [NUMBER] days of the visit so it can be inspected while the evidence is fresh.

11. The whole agreement

This document is the entire agreement. Changes must be in writing and signed by both. It is governed by the laws of [STATE].
