Service Agreement Allowing Sub-Contracting (B2B)

This Service Agreement Allowing Sub-Contracting (B2B) is designed for service providers supplying services to business clients where the provider may sub-contract some or all of its obligations.

It is suitable for a broad range of services and is structured so that transaction-specific detail can be set out in schedules rather than in the main body of the agreement.

References to data protection legislation in this document include the UK GDPR.

B2B service agreement that permits sub-contracting

This template is intended for business-to-business service arrangements. It is not recommended for business-to-consumer use because of consumer protection law relating to unfair contract terms.

The main agreement sets out the legal framework, while the schedules capture the practical detail of the services and fees.

What this B2B service contract covers

• the service provider’s and client’s obligations;
• fees and payment;
• confidentiality;
• insurance and termination;
• limitation of liability, with provisions intended to be limited but balanced; and
• optional data protection and data processing provisions where relevant.

Sub-contracting and liability points to consider

The service provider is permitted to sub-contract some or all of its obligations under the agreement.

Any sub-contracting arrangements should be put in place on terms that are compatible with the main agreement.

Liability under this contract is limited, but balanced. That is an important commercial point to negotiate before signature, and the default limitation provisions may need to be adjusted to suit the particular deal.

Schedules for the services, fees, and data processing detail

• The Services – the services to be provided;
• Fees – the agreed charges; and
• Data Processing – data processing detail where applicable.
