Document background
The MoU For Services is commonly used in Swiss business practice as a preliminary step before entering into formal service agreements. It provides a structured framework for parties to document their intentions and understanding regarding service arrangements while maintaining flexibility. This document type is particularly valuable in complex service relationships where parties need to align their expectations and establish basic principles before committing to a binding contract. Used across various industries in Switzerland, it typically includes provisions for service scope, responsibilities, timelines, and basic commercial terms, while adhering to Swiss legal principles. The document's non-binding nature, except for specific provisions like confidentiality, makes it an ideal tool for initial business discussions and negotiations.
