The Legal Risk Score of a Cleaner Contract Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The agreement specifies that upon termination, any deposit made by the Client will be forfeited if termination occurs within a certain timeframe before the services are provided, which could pose a financial risk to the Client if they need to cancel the services close to the date of provision.
- Payment terms are strictly defined, and failure to adhere to them could result in interest charges or suspension of services, which might lead to operational disruptions if the Client is dependent on the cleaning services.
- The Contractor’s liability for damages is limited, which could expose the Client to potential losses or damages that exceed the compensation they can recover from the Contractor.
