Where it fits
For ongoing or repeat services from a business. Use the statement of work to define one project, the consulting agreement for an independent consultant, and the marketing services agreement or the web design contract for that kind of work.
Before you rely on it
Original Centilio wording, not legal advice. Check the liability cap, late interest and data protection terms against local law and your insurance, and add a data processing agreement where personal data is handled. Confirm that the independent contractor terms match how the work is really done.
