Document background
The Service Agreement Letter is commonly used in Belgian business practice when parties need to formalize a service arrangement in a more accessible format than a full contract. This document type is particularly relevant when establishing professional service relationships, consulting arrangements, or other business services where a formal but streamlined approach is preferred. The letter format maintains legal validity under Belgian law while being more approachable than traditional contracts. It includes essential elements required by Belgian civil law such as party identification, service description, payment terms, and duration, while allowing flexibility to add specific terms as needed. The Service Agreement Letter is especially useful for small to medium-sized engagements, professional services, and situations where parties want to maintain a more personal business relationship while ensuring legal protection.
