JD Woods Law PLC is spotlighting the firm's flat-fee Service Agreement engagement this week, with an emphasis on the risk-allocation clauses that decide who pays when a service deal goes wrong. The service covers both new service agreements and review of an agreement sent over by the other side, from the firm's office in Jacksonville, Florida.
Most service-contract disputes do not start in the scope section. They start in five clauses that only matter when something breaks: indemnification, the limitation of liability cap, the waiver of consequential damages, the warranties and disclaimer, and force majeure. A one-way indemnity, a missing cap, or silence on consequential damages can turn a modest engagement into open-ended exposure, and those terms rarely feel urgent at signing.
The firm's approach is to calibrate each of those clauses to the client's actual risk rather than copy boilerplate. Drafting a new service agreement is a flat $389; reviewing a draft from the other side, with a risk analysis of these exact clauses, starts at $179 under the Contract Review service.
The companion article, 5 Clauses That Decide Who Pays When a Service Deal Goes Wrong, walks through the five clauses in detail. Service details and the intake form are at /services/service-agreement.
