________________________

Contracts for the provision of services for a fee are very common, but even experienced lawyers make mistakes when preparing them. Read how to draw up the perfect contract and how to avoid common mistakes. And also download a sample document.

What is this article about?:

Under a contract for the provision of paid services, the contractor undertakes, on the instructions of the customer, to provide services, perform certain actions or carry out certain activities, and the customer undertakes to pay for them (Clause 1 of Article 779 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

When is a contract for paid services concluded?

The document is concluded for the provision of the following services:

• medical;
• consulting;
• veterinary;
• audit;
• informational;
• on training;
• on tourist services (clause 2 of article 779 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation);
• legal;
• security;
• advertising;
• accounting;
• communication services.

This list is not exhaustive.

Sample contract for the provision of services

How to avoid common mistakes when preparing a contract

Specify the subject of the contract

The contract is considered concluded if the parties have reached an agreement on all essential terms (clause 1 of Article 432 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The subject is an essential condition of the contract for the provision of paid services. If the subject matter is unclear, in particular, if the list (type) of work and its volume are not specified, the court may recognize the contract as not concluded. Consequently, the parties will not be able to apply liability for their failure to fulfill contractual obligations (Article 309, paragraph 1 of Article 393, Articles 330,331, 332 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

However, the party that has confirmed the fulfillment of obligations through partial or full acceptance does not have the right to demand recognition of the contract as not concluded if, taking into account certain circumstances, such a requirement does not comply with the principle of good faith (clause 432 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). This indicates that the actions of the customer, who accepted the services but did not pay for them, and later, when collecting debt in court, declared that the contract was not concluded due to disagreement on the subject, may be perceived as dishonest behavior, for example, to avoid liability for violation of obligations under payment. Taking into account the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 432 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, most likely such a statement will not be taken into account by the court.

Thus, the subject of the contract is considered agreed if the list of services is sufficiently and specifically defined (Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation of August 23, 2005 No. 1928/05).

The subject of the contract is considered agreed upon if the list of services is sufficiently and specifically defined.

Specify the scope of services

Based on the volume of services, the parties can calculate the costs incurred for the work actually performed or the remuneration to the contractor. Within a certain type of activity, the volume can be established based on the list of actions performed by the performer. Agreeing on the volume is inextricably linked with the content of the subject of the contract for the provision of paid services.

Parties may use the following indicators:

• the number of objects for which the provision of services is established (for example, when guarding an object - the number of warehouses);
• duration of work (when preparing an assessment report - the amount of time spent (hour, minutes);
• the number of recipients (for example, when organizing and conducting a seminar - the number of listeners).

It is impossible to collect interest for the use of someone else's money if the contract is not concluded due to a lack of agreement on the scope of services (resolution of the Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal dated May 29, 2007, June 4, 2007 No. 09AP-6541/2007-GK in case No. A40-73650/06-49- 560), to recover damages for violation of conditions (resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Central District dated June 28, 2005 No. A14-15387/04/558), to collect payment and penalties for late payment (resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Volga-Vyatka District dated April 21, 2009 in case No. A29- 6050/2008). Cm., how to calculate penalties at the refinancing rate .

Tax authorities may not recognize income tax expenses and VAT deductions if the contract does not contain a detailed description of the work.

Record the fact of the work done

Services are activities whose results do not have material expression (Clause 5, Article 38 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). Therefore, when determining the issue of their reality, it is important that the parties strictly fulfill the terms of the agreement on confirmation of services in terms of drawing up acts or other documents indicating fulfillment. (resolution of the Arbitration Court of the Ural District dated October 16, 2015 No. F09-7065/15 in case No. A60-55015/2014).

The current legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for a unified form of an act on the provision of services, with the exception of the requirements for the primary accounting document for which mandatory details are established (Part 2 of Article 9 of the Federal Law of December 6, 2011 No. 402-FZ “On Accounting” ). To ensure that the company does not have problems, the acceptance certificate must contain a detailed list of all actions performed by the contractor, their volume and cost (Determination of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated 08/07/2009 No. VAS-9587/09 in case No. A31-4774/2008-20) .

The tax consequences of not confirming the work done must also be taken into account. Tax authorities may not recognize expenses for income tax and VAT deductions in the absence of a detailed description of the work (resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the West Siberian District dated September 12, 2013 in case No. A46-29654/2012, resolution of the Moscow District FAS dated November 19, 2012 in case No. A40-98375/11-107-416 and etc.). The customer will have to dispute such claims with an unclear outcome. .

Agree on quality terms

The condition on the quality of services determines their characteristics, properties that are necessary to meet the needs of the customer (Articles 779, 783, 721 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The provisions of Article 721 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on the quality of work and Art. 723 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on the contractor’s liability for their inadequate quality (resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated September 24, 2013 No. 4593/13 in case No. A41-7649/2012).

If the parties have established quality requirements in the document, for example technical specifications, then the contractor is obliged to comply with them. Otherwise, the quality of the work done will be considered inadequate, and the contractor will not have the right to demand payment from the customer (resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated September 24, 2013 N 4593/13 in case No. A41-7649/2012, resolution of the Arbitration Court of the Volga-Vyatka District dated 06/16/2015 No. F01-2032/2015 in case No. A43-21302/2014).

If in the contract for the provision of paid services the parties have not agreed on the requirements for their quality, then the contractor is not obliged to comply with the quality requirements presented by the customer after the conclusion (Clause 2 of Article 307, Articles 783, 721 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The customer does not have the right to refer to non-compliance with such requirements and demand a price reduction on the basis of Art. 783, paragraph 1, art. 723 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (resolution of the Fourteenth Arbitration Court of Appeal dated October 20, 2008 in case No. A05-5815/2008, left unchanged resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the North-Western District dated January 19, 2009 No. A05-5815/2008).

The Contractor is not obliged to comply with the quality requirements for services if they are not specified in the contract.

Agree on the terms of engaging third parties (subcontractors)

According to the general rule established by Article 780 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the contractor must provide services personally, unless otherwise agreed by the contract. The Contractor has the right to agree on the terms of involving third parties in the work if there are no specialists with the relevant knowledge on staff.

If you do not agree with the customer on the terms for the involvement of third parties (sub-contractors), the contractor will be obliged to provide services personally (Article 780 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). If this provision is not observed, the contractor will not be able to demand reimbursement from the customer for costs associated with the involvement of third parties. For example, to recover damages in the form of arrears in payment to sub-performers on the basis of Art. 15 Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Confirmation of this conclusion is set out in the positions of the higher courts: Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated May 30, 2000 No. 8079/99 in case No. 2642-G/99. Unauthorized involvement of subcontractors may deprive the contractor of tax benefits, if such benefits are established only for organizations directly performing the work. Thus, the FAS of the Volga District in its resolution dated December 21, 2007 No. A49-3155/2007 (the decision of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated April 17, 2008 No. 2141/08 refused to review the case by way of supervision) declared unlawful the implementation by a public organization of disabled people of work performed by subcontractors, without VAT charges on their value. The court rejected the arguments that construction and installation work carried out by the involved persons are not subject to VAT, since the work performed by subcontractors is the work performed by the contractor himself (an organization of disabled people), as based on an erroneous interpretation of subparagraph 2 of paragraph 3 of Article 149 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation , since this norm connects the possibility of applying tax benefits with the direct performance of work by the public organization of disabled people. Article 149 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation contains several benefits with this condition.

Include a termination clause at the end of the contract

If the parties have not agreed on the condition that after the expiration of the contract, obligations under it are terminated (clause 3 of Article 425 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), these obligations continue to be valid until they are fulfilled by the parties, unless otherwise provided by law (paragraph 2 of clause 3, Article 425 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). In accordance with Articles 15, 393 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, upon expiration of the validity period, the contractor must compensate the customer for losses caused by non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of obligations. (Resolution of the Sixteenth Arbitration Court of Appeal dated May 27, 2009 No. 16AP-669/09(1), resolution of the Fourth Arbitration Court Court of Appeal dated 06/01/2010 in case No. A10-5622/2009, decision of the Arbitration Court of the Sverdlovsk Region dated 04/27/2009 in case No. A60-5266/2009-C4).

Determine the payment term

It is recommended that the contract determine the payment period, otherwise the executor will not be able to collect a penalty for late payment under Article 330 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, since the court will not be able to establish the period of delay (Resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Ural District dated May 16, 2006 No. F09-2393/06-C5) . To prevent negative consequences, the document must establish a deadline for payment for services. It can be established in the form of advance payment (advance payment), phased payment.

In practice, the parties often agree on a period by indicating not the event, but the actions of the parties or other persons. For example, the payment period can be determined by indicating the period of time from the moment of receipt of services (signing of the acceptance certificate) or from the moment of conclusion of the contract (resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Moscow District dated May 13, 2010 No. KG-A40/4077-10, as determined by the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated 08/26/2010 No. VAS-11203/10 refused to transfer this case to the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation for review by way of supervision), resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the North-Western District dated 01.06.2010 in case No. A56-13328/2009).

Include a penalty clause for late payment

A penalty (fine, penalty) is a sum of money established by contract or law, which is paid by a party that has not fulfilled or improperly fulfilled its obligations under the contract (Clause 1 of Article 330 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). To receive it, you must confirm the fact of violation of the obligation. If the parties have not agreed on the customer’s obligation to pay a penalty for late payment (clause 1 of Article 330, Article 331 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), the contractor has no right to demand its recovery (Resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Moscow District dated April 10, 2008 No. KG-A40/2652-08 on case No. A40-49611/07-10-336).

The exception is cases when the payment of a penalty is established by law (Article 332 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). For example, parts 5–9 art. 34 of the Federal Law of 04/05/2013 N 44-FZ “On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs” provides for a penalty for late fulfillment of obligations by the parties under the contract. However, if the document does not contain a clause on a penalty for late fulfillment of a monetary obligation, the injured party may demand payment of interest in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 395 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, as well as compensation for losses, having previously proven them.

Specify price

If the contract does not contain a price clause, services must be paid at the price that, under comparable circumstances, is usually charged for similar work (clause 3 of Article 424 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

In practice, a situation may arise when the customer will be obliged to pay more for the services provided than he expected, or the contractor will be forced to provide them at a reduced price, and not at the one expected at the time of concluding the contract.

To avoid disputes about the price, the parties must agree on the size of the price or the method of determining it, its composition and the condition of a fixed or approximate price. For example, the parties may establish that the price will be determined based on the tariffs (rates) of the contractor, which can be expressed in the cost of one unit of time (hour, minutes) spent by the contractor. (resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the North Caucasus District dated August 11, 2003 No. F08-2883/03 in case No. A32-2491/03-38/41).

An example of a condition statement

The Customer undertakes to pay the contractor a monthly remuneration, calculated by multiplying the total number of hours actually spent in fulfilling obligations under this Agreement by the rate (cost of one hour of services) of a specialist.
The specialist’s rate is ______________________ rubles ____kopecks per hour.
The final cost of services under this Agreement is determined based on the service provision certificate drawn up and signed by the parties.

Write down the conditions for accepting services

The legislation does not establish the obligation to draw up an act on the provision of services (resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the West Siberian District dated January 30, 2007 No. F04-9551/2006(30744-A03-11), FAS Volga-Vyatka District dated August 17, 2009 No. A11-10234/2008- K1-13/256). However, payment by the contractor, as well as the fact of confirmation of the provision of services, are associated with the signing of the act.

Sometimes customers try to evade acceptance by simply not signing the document. To prevent this from happening, a condition can be included in the contract for the provision of paid services: if the act received from the contractor by the customer is not signed within the period stipulated by the contract, or a reasoned refusal to sign is not provided within the same period, then the act signed unilaterally is considered confirmation of proper provision services by the contractor (resolution of the Fifth Arbitration Court of Appeal dated 05.08.2013 N 05AP-6736/13, resolution of the Eleventh Arbitration Court of Appeal dated 21.03.2013 N 11AP-322/13).

An example of a condition statement

Upon completion of the provision of services, the Contractor provides the Customer with a certificate of provision of services within _________ (__________) days. If objections are not submitted within ________ (_______) days from the date of receipt of the act, the services are considered accepted.

At the same time, the presence in the document of a condition on the mandatory drawing up of this act does not relieve the contractor from the need to confirm the fact of the work done with other documents if there are objections from the customer. (Resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the North-Western District dated October 26, 2010 No. F07-10378/2010 in case No. A66-13532/2009).

The current legislation of the Russian Federation provides for many types of civil agreements.

Among such civil law agreements are: contract for paid services.

A contract for the provision of services is a bilateral legal agreement. According to a bilateral agreement, one party, called the contractor, undertakes to provide the second party - the customer - with a service on a paid basis. In other words, a contract for the provision of paid services presupposes mutually beneficial, voluntary, fruitful cooperation between two persons: the customer and the contractor.

Let us note that an agreement on the provision of paid services can be concluded both between individuals - citizens of the Russian Federation, and between legal entities - organizations.

Contract for paid services and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation

The contract for the provision of paid services is regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Civil Code). The norms of conduct of the parties are prescribed in Chapter 39 of Art. 783 Civil Code. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation defines contracts for the provision of services for a fee as agreements according to which one party - the contractor - accepts obligations to provide a certain service for the other party - the customer, which guarantees subsequent payment for the result obtained.

The subject of the agreement is communication services, medical, veterinary, auditing, consulting, information services, training services, tourism services, etc.

Terms of the Paid Services Agreement

As a rule, contracts for paid services contain several standard clauses. Thus, contracts for the provision of paid services must clearly stipulate the deadlines for the completion of work and the provision of services by the contractor. Also, contracts for paid services must specify the mechanism for payment by the customer for work or services. In addition, contracts for the provision of paid services must indicate the location of the work.

In addition, contracts for the provision of paid services must contain a clause reflecting the subject of the contract.

If necessary, contracts for the provision of paid services should provide a list of specific actions that the contractor must perform. At the same time, it is important to avoid too vague or general wording in the text of the contract. If it is not clear what exactly the contractor needs to do, then the subject of the contract will be considered inconsistent.

Thus, an agreement for the provision of paid services must contain essential conditions, that is, such conditions without which the bilateral agreement cannot be considered valid.

Each separately drawn up agreement may contain three types of conditions:

mandatory;

additional;

random.

Mandatory conditions are: the subject of the transaction, the timing of execution and the amount of remuneration and the procedure for its payment.

Great importance is paid to the subject, that is, an accurate description of the work, place and deadline for its execution.

Additional conditions are negotiated individually and depend on the specifics of the service itself. Here the parties stipulate the quality of the work, the place and time of the work, the provision of the service, the participation of third parties in the process and many other nuances.

In addition, the document must indicate the rights and obligations of the parties, their liability in case of dishonest performance of their duties.

Taking into account the above, we can conclude that the contract for the provision of paid services must be drawn up as accurately as possible, that is, it must contain all the essential conditions. This will help avoid subsequent disputes between the customer and the contractor.

Obligations of the contractor under a contract for the provision of paid services

The provision of services for a fee under a contract for the provision of services for a fee implies a significant amount of responsibilities assigned to the contractor. Such obligations under a contract for the provision of paid services include the following.

Firstly, the contractor is obliged to provide the customer with complete and comprehensive information about himself (for example, statutory documents, data on current licenses, a certificate of state registration, a certificate of registration with the tax authorities, financial statements, the actual address of the company’s office, etc.) .

Secondly, the contractor is obliged to provide the service exactly within the terms specified in the contract. An exception to this rule may be cases when a delay in the provision of services occurs due to force majeure.

Thirdly, the performer, on the basis of Article 780 of the Civil Code of Russia, must provide his services under the contract for the provision of paid services in person. Moreover, if an agreement is reached with the customer, then part of the work can be entrusted to third parties.

Rights of the customer under a contract for paid services

Since the contract involves the provision of services for a fee, the customer is vested with significant rights. Such rights of the customer include the following rights.

Firstly, if there is a delay in the provision of services, the customer may require the contractor to pay a daily penalty in the amount of 3% of the cost of providing services.

Secondly, even if the contractor does his work under the contract for paid services properly and meets the deadline, the customer may refuse further cooperation on the following grounds:

Contracts for the provision of paid services are binding in terms of the provision of services or the performance of work from start to finish only for the contractor. Moreover, if the customer exercised this right and terminated the contract, then in this case the customer must nevertheless pay for the volume of services already provided. Please note that the customer is obliged to notify the contractor of his desire to refuse further cooperation and terminate the contract strictly in writing.

When a contract for paid services is considered fulfilled

The fact of fulfillment of the terms of the contract for the provision of paid services is recognized at the moment of signing the acceptance certificate.

Refusal by the customer of the services of the contractor under a contract for the provision of paid services

According to Article 782 of the Civil Code of Russia, the customer may, without explanation and unilaterally, inform the contractor of his refusal of services. The contract cannot contain any restrictions on this right. The only case when the customer cannot refuse the concluded transaction is when the work has already been done or the service has been provided, and the corresponding acceptance certificate for the work performed or services provided has been signed.

If the customer exercised his right and refused the services of the contractor, then the customer must:

firstly, notify the contractor about this in writing;

secondly, stop actually using the services.

The contractor, in turn, has the right to demand monetary compensation for work already performed or service provided.
