The Master Service Agreement (MSA Contract) serves as a foundational document for businesses operating in Pakistan that engage in ongoing service relationships. It is primarily used when parties anticipate multiple service engagements over time and want to establish standard terms that will govern all future service orders. The agreement must comply with Pakistani legislation, particularly the Contract Act 1872, Electronic Transactions Ordinance 2002, and relevant sector-specific regulations. This MSA includes provisions for service delivery, payment terms, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, dispute resolution, and other essential elements required under Pakistani law. The document is structured to accommodate various service types while maintaining consistency with local legal requirements and international business practices. It typically serves as an umbrella agreement under which specific service orders or statements of work can be executed without renegotiating basic terms.
