Use this QuickForm "Engagement Letter" for a simple project or service relationship. This might involve consulting or professional services, a software requirements analysis or contract programming services at hourly or fixed price rates.The Engagement Letter is a plain-English document that fits on just a couple of pages. It addresses basic issues, such as identity of the parties, project deliverables, pricing, payment, warranties, liabilities, confidentiality and ownership of work product, but only in summary form.It does not provide the same level of detail that you will find with other QuickForm categories, such as the Professional Services Agreement or Software Development Agreement.Properly used, Engagement Letters are helpful when a project demands immediate attention. Although QuickForms can easily produce a more complete document quickly, there may be no time to have it reviewed by both parties' lawyers. You should consider replacing it with a more detailed agreement if the relationship becomes more complex or if a lot of money is at stake.
