When two parties agree on a certain set of services, they enter into a Marketing Consultant Retainer Agreement. This document outlines the scope of services, payment terms and timelines for both sides. The agreement also delineates any potential challenges or liabilities that may arise over the course of the consultant’s volunteering their expertise. It’s important to note that this isn’t a contract of employment; rather, it’s a voluntary agreement dictating the terms of service between a client and contractor. Therefore, before signing off on this agreement, both parties should carefully read and understand its contents. Eliminating any gray areas ahead of time will help ensure that expectations are met and obligations are fulfilled.
