How is this different from the consulting and contractor agreements?

They overlap heavily. This is the general-purpose version for any provider-to-client services engagement. A consulting agreement tends to emphasize advisory services and confidentiality; a contractor agreement leans toward defined deliverables and work-for-hire IP. Pick whichever framing matches your work — the substance of the terms matters more than the title.

Does signing here make the agreement legally binding?

AttachKit fills and signs the PDF; it does not give legal advice or guarantee any particular legal effect. Whether an agreement is enforceable depends on your state's law and the deal itself. This is a general starter template — have a lawyer review anything high-stakes.

What about worker classification and taxes?

The template states that the provider is an independent contractor responsible for their own taxes, but classification rules are state-specific and misclassification carries penalties. Verify your state's rules; if the client needs to issue a 1099, expect them to request a W-9, which you can fill via /fill/w-9.

Can the client fill in and sign their part too?

Yes. Only the service-provider block auto-fills from your profile; the client, services, fees, and term fields stay open for either side to complete. The signature and date lines are drawn lines, so you can sign in the browser or print and sign by hand.

Fill and sign a service agreement — free

A service agreement sets out the terms between a service provider and a client: the services and scope, the fees and payment terms, the term and how either side can end it, and independent-contractor status. It's a general-purpose contract — broader than the consulting or contractor templates — for any provider-to-client engagement. AttachKit fills your provider details from your saved profile and lets you sign in the browser; the PDF is filled on your device and never leaves it. It fills the form for you — it does not submit or file anything.

Your PDF never leaves your browser — open DevTools → Network and watch: the file is never uploaded.

Who needs it: Freelancers, agencies, and small businesses providing services to a client, and clients engaging a provider on a project or ongoing basis. Useful whenever you want the services, fees, term, and contractor status written down before work starts. If your engagement is specifically advisory, the consulting-agreement template may frame it better; for defined deliverables and work-for-hire IP, see the contractor-agreement template.
