This Service Contract Template is a bilingual (English–Arabic) agreement used to hire an individual or firm to deliver defined services and deliverables under a clear Statement of Work. It sets out the scope, performance period, deliverables schedule, fixed-price ceiling and payment terms, invoicing requirements and dispute/offset procedures, and rules on expenses, taxes, and documentation. The template also includes strong compliance and risk-control clauses—covering subcontracting limits and key personnel, legal and ethical compliance (including anti-corruption and prohibited conduct), confidentiality, ownership of work products and intellectual property (work-made-for-hire/assignment), indemnification, termination options (including donor funding changes), penalties for delay, arbitration-based dispute resolution, audit/access to records, and optional donor-specific terms via schedules.
