Consultancy Agreements: Selection

We supply four different consultancy agreements / T&Cs.

The "standard" versions of the consultancy agreements / T&Cs are designed for ease-of-use, whereas the "premium" versions contain a wide range of additional and optional clauses.

In addition to the clauses in the "standard" versions of the documents, the "premium" versions include: provisions on interpretation, a simple acceptance procedure, hourly-rate charging, variation of charges, more sophisticated IPR provisions allowing for third party rights, customer materials, moral rights and partial assignments/licences, more comprehensive limitations of liability, indemnities, mutual (rather than unilateral) confidentiality provisions, data protection provision, non-solicitation clauses, notices clauses, and more detailed boilerplate clauses.

The equivalent "terms and conditions" and "agreement" templates are very similar in substance. The difference between the template types is largely presentational.

The "agreement" templates are designed to be used to create traditional agreement documents, with the parties' names stated at the top and the parties signing at the bottom. This style of document is typically used where the parties negotiate the terms of the document (i.e. the terms are not being imposed by one party on the other). The "terms and conditions" templates are designed to be used to create terms and conditions type documents. Usually, the specifics will be detailed in a separate document (a proposal, quotation, etc). This style of document is typically used where one party is imposing its standard terms of trading on the other party, and where the terms are not up for negotiation.
