Flat Fee Agreement

"I need a Flat Fee Agreement for IT consulting services where my company will provide website development services for a fixed price of $50,000 CAD, with the project to be completed by March 2025, including provisions for source code ownership and maintenance support."

Document background
This Flat Fee Agreement template is designed for use in Canadian jurisdictions where parties wish to establish a clear, fixed-price arrangement for professional services. It is particularly suitable for situations where the scope of work can be clearly defined and quantified, allowing for a predetermined fee rather than hourly billing. The document incorporates essential elements required under Canadian contract law, including provincial consumer protection requirements and federal tax considerations. It provides comprehensive coverage of service specifications, payment terms, deliverables, and risk allocation, while maintaining flexibility to accommodate various types of professional services. This agreement type is commonly used by consultants, agencies, and professional service providers who prefer to offer their clients cost certainty and simplified billing arrangements.
