Document background
The Service Agreement Between Two Companies is a fundamental legal document used to formalize business relationships under German law. It is essential for situations where one company provides professional services to another, ranging from consulting and IT services to facilities management and business process outsourcing. The agreement incorporates mandatory provisions required by German law, including specific liability and warranty clauses required under the BGB (German Civil Code) and commercial provisions under the HGB (German Commercial Code). This document type is particularly important in the German business context, where detailed written agreements are standard practice and certain legal provisions must be explicitly addressed. It includes comprehensive sections on service delivery, quality standards, payment terms, and risk allocation, while considering German-specific requirements for B2B contracts and EU regulations where applicable.
