Document background
The Master Client Agreement (MCA) is designed for businesses operating in Canada who require a robust legal framework for managing ongoing service relationships with their clients. This agreement type is particularly useful when services will be provided on a recurring basis or through multiple projects, as it eliminates the need to negotiate standard terms and conditions for each engagement. The MCA establishes the overarching commercial and legal framework while allowing for specific services to be detailed in separate statements of work. It incorporates essential provisions required under Canadian federal and provincial laws, including privacy protection, electronic commerce regulations, and consumer protection requirements where applicable. The document is structured to accommodate various service types while maintaining consistency in key areas such as risk allocation, confidentiality, and dispute resolution.
