Document background
The Supplier Service Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for businesses engaging external service providers in Canada. This document is essential when establishing a formal service relationship between a supplier and a customer, particularly for ongoing or complex service arrangements. It addresses key aspects such as service scope, performance standards, payment terms, and risk allocation, while ensuring compliance with Canadian federal and provincial regulations. The agreement is designed to protect both parties' interests, establish clear operational parameters, and provide mechanisms for managing the service relationship effectively. It's particularly important for businesses operating across multiple provinces, as it can be adapted to address specific provincial requirements while maintaining consistency with federal regulations.
