Free service agreement template (Australia)
A free Australian service agreement template from Quillio covers: scope of services, fees, IP ownership, warranties, indemnities, limitation of liability, and termination. Suitable for B2B service providers — consultants, agencies, IT services, and professional services. Drafted to Australian Consumer Law compliance for B2B consumer guarantees. I generate a tailored agreement in under a minute.
Services and scope
The scope clause is where most service disputes arise. Specify: deliverables; acceptance criteria; timeline/milestones; change control process; and assumptions (what the client will provide). Vague scope leads to scope creep and disputes. A well-drafted scope reduces legal disputes by 50%+.
Fees and payment
Fees structure (fixed, time and materials, retainer); invoicing schedule; payment terms (usually 14 or 30 days); interest on overdue payments; dispute resolution on invoices; and GST treatment. For subscription services, auto-renewal mechanics and notice requirements are essential.
Warranties, indemnity, and limitation
Warranties about service quality and fitness for purpose. Indemnities (often asymmetric — provider indemnifies for IP infringement and negligence, client indemnifies for misuse). Limitation of liability — usually capped at fees paid in the preceding 12 months, excluding indirect/consequential loss. Australian Consumer Law guarantees cannot be excluded — only liability in excess of the statutory minimum can be capped.
How I generate service agreements
Tell me the services, fees structure, timeline, and jurisdiction. I produce a draft in 60 seconds. For commercial lawyers drafting volume B2B service agreements this removes the template bottleneck and maintains consistency on limitation and indemnity clauses.
Common issues
- Scope creep is the #1 services dispute — tight change control saves the relationship
- Liability caps must satisfy unfair contract terms provisions under ACL
- IP ownership should be explicit — do not rely on default copyright rules
