Document background
The Limited Service Agreement is designed for business relationships in South Africa where specific services need to be provided within a defined timeframe or for a particular project. This document is essential when engaging external service providers, consultants, or contractors for discrete projects or temporary arrangements. It ensures compliance with South African legislative requirements while protecting both parties' interests through clear definition of services, deliverables, and commercial terms. The agreement is particularly valuable in professional services contexts where the relationship needs to be clearly distinguished from employment arrangements. It includes provisions for service delivery standards, payment terms, intellectual property rights, and confidentiality obligations, all aligned with South African commercial law and practice.
