Document background
The Flat Fee Contract is essential for businesses and professionals operating in Pakistan who wish to establish clear, fixed-price arrangements for services. This document type is particularly valuable when parties want to avoid the uncertainty of time-based billing and prefer a predetermined payment structure. The agreement must comply with Pakistani legislation, including the Contract Act 1872 and relevant tax laws, while incorporating necessary provisions for scope definition, payment terms, and delivery milestones. It's commonly used for project-based work, consulting services, and professional engagements where the deliverables and expectations can be clearly defined upfront. The document provides protection for both service providers and clients by clearly outlining responsibilities, quality standards, and acceptance criteria, while ensuring that payment obligations are transparent and enforceable under Pakistani law.
