Document background
The Consultancy Agreement For Professional Services is essential for businesses and individuals engaging in consulting relationships under Austrian jurisdiction. This document is typically used when a company or individual requires specialized professional services on a project basis or for a specific duration. It provides a legal framework that protects both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with Austrian legal requirements, including the ABGB, UGB, and data protection regulations. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as service scope, deliverables, payment terms, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and liability limitations. It's particularly important in professional service relationships where clear deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities need to be defined, while maintaining the independent contractor status of the consultant.
