Frequently asked questions
What is a service contract?
This is a contract by which a service provider undertakes to provide a service (e.g., cleaning, consulting) in exchange for remuneration. It must specify the purpose, duration, price, and obligations of the parties.
Can I terminate a service contract without cause?
No, unless there is a unilateral termination clause. An abusive termination may lead to damages. It is advisable to consult a lawyer before terminating a contract.
What are the deadlines to act in unfair competition?
The action for unfair competition is time-barred by 5 years from the harmful event. Act quickly to avoid prescription and preserve evidence.
What to do if a client does not pay for my service?
You can send a formal notice, then initiate recovery proceedings (injunction to pay or summons). A lawyer can assist you in these steps.
How much does it cost to draft a contract by a lawyer?
Fees vary: for a simple contract, expect around €500 to €1,500. A quote is prepared after studying your needs. The preliminary consultation is €45.
