CERTIFICATION RECORD
This template was prepared and reviewed by a licensed Saudi lawyer and is kept current as the Kingdom's regulations change.
Where an Arabic and an English text exist, the Arabic text prevails
A services contract that governs scope, fees, delivery, and intellectual property, drafted for the Saudi context and bilingual.
A services agreement is the foundation that governs the relationship between a service provider and a client, whether you are a freelancer, an agency, or a company providing a service to another party. A verbal understanding or a quick message protects neither side when a dispute arises over scope, fees, or delivery dates. Sighaty template C-01 is written for the Saudi context and the good-faith principle of the Civil Transactions Law, and it covers the scope of service, fees, delivery schedule, intellectual property, confidentiality, and termination, in two parallel languages with the Arabic text prevailing on any difference.
Get the Services Agreement TemplateC-01What this contract is and when you need it
A services agreement turns an engagement into a written commitment: what will be delivered, for what consideration, and when. You need it whenever you provide a service or engage a provider, from design, marketing, and development to consulting and maintenance. Its clearest clause is the scope of work, because most disputes arise from a difference in understanding over what the engagement includes and excludes.
- Engaging a freelancer or agency for a defined project with deliverables and a timeline.
- Providing a recurring service or a monthly retainer to a client.
- Any relationship needing clear fees, payment terms, and IP ownership.
What the smart-fill asks and what you receive
The smart-fill asks about the parties, the service and deliverables, the fees and how they are calculated, the delivery and payment schedule, and who owns the final deliverables. You describe your project in your own words, and we turn your answers into aligned, coherent clauses.
Within minutes you receive a formatted bilingual Word document, ready to sign and editable before approval. You move from an undocumented engagement to a written contract that protects your fees and defines each party's responsibility, without starting from a blank page.
Why a lawyer-certified template beats a free download
A free template may omit decisive clauses such as intellectual property, liability limits, or the termination mechanism, and it may rest on another country's law. The Sighaty template is certified by a licensed Saudi lawyer, drafted for the local regulatory context, and updated as regulations change. The clause missing from a free template can cost you many times the value of the service at the first disagreement.
Frequently asked questions
Who owns the deliverables after the service is delivered?
It depends on what the parties agree in the contract. The template lets you set whether the intellectual property in the deliverables transfers to the client upon full payment of the fees or remains with the provider under a license to the client. Stating this expressly prevents a common dispute in services contracts.
How does the contract handle changes to the scope of work?
The template provides a change-request mechanism, so any expansion of scope is documented in writing along with its effect on fees and the timeline. This protects the provider from unpaid extra work and protects the client from surprises in the invoice.
Does the contract suit both freelancers and companies?
Yes. The template is flexible and serves the freelancer, the agency, and the company, whether you are the provider or the client. During fill-in you set your role and the type of service, so the drafting comes out suited to your case while keeping the aligned structure as the base.
