What is a "service contract agreement"?
An agreement between two parties for the provision of services is called a Service Contract Agreement (SCA). The SCA specifies the services to be provided, their cost, time and effort required, who will pay for them, and when they should start. It also defines what happens if one party violates the agreement's obligations.
Who has to pay for the service?
Your SCA will indicate who is responsible in paying for the service. It may be possible to sue the court for compensation if the service provider has not been paid in full.
What are the payment terms for the service/contractor I am required to pay?
The service you are receiving will dictate the payment schedule. In other words, if you hire someone to install a roof, you will typically pay once the work has been completed. A supplier might require you to test and receive the item before you pay.

What is the distinction between a contract and a Service Agreement?
A service agreement is an agreement by which a provider agrees that they will provide services to a customer. It creates an obligation on both parties. The service term refers to products, information, advice, and other services provided by a company. However, it does not include financial services.
A contract is a legally binding document that outlines the terms and conditions of a business relationship. If you buy a product directly from a retailer, you've entered into a contractual agreement. You have the right to make payment for the item in due time. If you accept employment you have entered into an agreement with your employer.
