What type of contract covers maintenance services?

A service agreement is specifically designed to outline the terms under which services will be delivered, including maintenance services. It typically details the scope of work, payment terms, duration of the agreement, and responsibilities of both parties involved. Such agreements are commonly used to ensure clarity and mutual understanding between service providers and clients regarding the services to be performed.

In contrast, a sales contract primarily focuses on the sale of goods rather than ongoing services. An employment contract outlines the terms of employment between an employer and employee, which may include service-related tasks but does not specifically address service agreements in a maintenance context. A lease contract pertains to the rental of property, and while it may involve maintenance obligations, it is not dedicated to the ongoing provision of maintenance services. Thus, the most appropriate type of contract for covering maintenance services is a service agreement.
