Document background
This Flat Fee Agreement template is designed for use under German law when parties wish to establish a clear, fixed-price arrangement for professional services. It is particularly suitable for scenarios where the scope of work can be clearly defined and both parties prefer the certainty of a predetermined fee rather than time-based billing. The document incorporates requirements from the German Civil Code (BGB) and relevant commercial laws, making it suitable for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer relationships. It includes comprehensive provisions for service delivery, payment terms, intellectual property rights, and liability limitations, while ensuring compliance with German legal requirements for service contracts. The agreement is structured to provide clarity and certainty for both service providers and clients, helping prevent disputes about scope and compensation.
