Document Overview
This document sets out the relationship between the contractor and client; and will allow the parties to the agreement to outline the terms, rights and expectations of each other under the contract. This type of document is useful as it can help prevent disputes that may arise from any misunderstandings that may be caused by terms not being discussed, formalised or forgotten over time.
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.
