The Service Contract Company agreement is a fundamental business document used in Hong Kong when one company agrees to provide services to another on a business-to-business basis. This document is essential for establishing clear commercial terms, service expectations, and legal protections in line with Hong Kong's common law system and relevant ordinances. It's particularly valuable when companies need to formalize ongoing service arrangements, whether for professional services, consulting, technology services, or other business support functions. The contract addresses key aspects such as service scope, performance standards, intellectual property rights, data protection, and liability allocation, while ensuring compliance with Hong Kong's regulatory requirements. This document type is distinct from employment contracts and is specifically structured to maintain a clear company-to-company service relationship.
