Standard Service Agreement with IP and Ownership Options (B2C)

This Standard Service Agreement with IP Provisions (B2C) is designed for business-to-consumer transactions where the service provider will create or produce some form of intellectual property as part of the services.

Using the optional intellectual property terms in the agreement, that IP can either be licensed to the customer or assigned to them. The document is written in a consumer-friendly style so that an average consumer can understand it without needing specialist business or legal knowledge.

The data protection clause has been simplified to a cross-reference to a privacy notice or policy. References to data protection legislation in this document include the UK GDPR.

Designed for consumer-facing services involving intellectual property

This template is suitable for a wide range of everyday service contracts where the service provider is creating work, content, or other output that gives rise to intellectual property rights.

It is intended for use by a service provider and combines consumer-facing service terms with specific provisions dealing with ownership and use of the IP created under the contract.

What makes this version different

• it is drafted for business-to-consumer use;
• it includes intellectual property provisions tailored to services that produce IP; and
• it allows the service provider to choose whether that IP is licensed or assigned to the customer.

Consumer-friendly by design

The agreement is written with service providers’ legal obligations and consumers’ rights in mind.

Its wording is intended to be fair to consumers and easy for them to follow, while still covering the main legal and commercial points a service provider needs in place.

Simple structure with key detail in schedules

The main body of the agreement sets out the core contract terms, while the schedules record the practical detail of the transaction.

• The Services – the services being provided; and
• The Price – the agreed charges.
