Question 1

Do I need a service agreement for small projects in Canada?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A written service agreement protects both parties regardless of project size. It clearly defines scope, payment terms, timelines, and liability limits. Under Canadian contract law, verbal agreements can be difficult to enforce, so a written document is always recommended.

Question 2

How does PIPEDA affect service agreements?

Accepted Answer

PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) requires that any personal information collected during the service be handled with consent and proper safeguards. This template includes a data protection clause ensuring the service provider complies with PIPEDA when handling client data.
