What the law says

• Civil Code art. 1851–1880 — services agreement form, obligations, and legal effects.
• Civil Code art. 1270 — binding force: the contract is law between the parties.
• eIDAS Regulation (EU) 910/2014 — advanced and qualified electronic signature has equal legal weight.
• GDPR art. 28 — if the provider processes personal data, a DPA clause is mandatory.
• Fiscal Code art. 7 pt. 3 — independent services vs. employment reclassification risk criteria.

Practical examples

• Monthly IT maintenance contract for a SaaS startup, with 99.9% uptime SLA and daily penalty clauses.
• Graphic design contract with external freelancer, payment on delivery, GDPR and IP assignment clauses.
• Quarterly financial consultancy contract between two LLCs, with 12-month non-compete clause.
• Turnkey software development contract with delivery milestones, 6-month warranty, and source code escrow.

Common mistakes

• Missing confidentiality clause (integrated NDA) when the provider accesses the client's sensitive data.
• Vague contract scope («general IT services») without specifying deliverables and acceptance criteria.
• No clause on intellectual property ownership of the provider's work results.
• Payment term absent or not linked to invoice issuance, causing disputes in enforcement proceedings.
