The Terms of Engagement Contract serves as a fundamental legal framework for establishing professional service relationships in Malaysia. This document is essential when engaging professional services, consultants, or independent contractors, providing clarity on service scope, deliverables, and mutual obligations. It ensures compliance with Malaysian legal requirements, including the Contracts Act 1950 and relevant industry regulations. The contract typically covers key aspects such as service specifications, payment terms, confidentiality, intellectual property rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms. It's particularly important in regulated industries where clear documentation of engagement terms is mandatory for compliance and risk management purposes.
