Document background
The Pro Bono Consulting Agreement is designed for use in Austria when professional consultants or consulting firms provide their services without charge to eligible organizations, typically non-profits, charitable institutions, or social enterprises. This document ensures that despite the absence of compensation, the consulting services maintain professional standards and clear deliverables while complying with Austrian civil law, professional services regulations, and EU data protection requirements. The agreement includes essential provisions for service scope, liability, confidentiality, and intellectual property rights, while acknowledging the voluntary nature of the engagement. It's particularly relevant for consulting firms maintaining corporate social responsibility programs or individual consultants engaging in charitable professional work.
