Can I use a service agreement with both sole traders and companies?

Yes. A service agreement works for both entity types. zipzipdoc automatically adjusts the contracting parties based on the entered company number or name.

What is an acceptance procedure and why is it important?

An acceptance procedure defines how the client takes delivery — the review period, grounds for rejection and the claims process. Without it, a client can indefinitely delay accepting work.

What is the recommended cap on contractual penalties?

Slovak law sets no hard cap, but courts may reduce disproportionately high penalties. We recommend 0.05 % of the price per day of delay, capped at 10–20 % of the total price.

Steps

Step-by-step walkthrough

1

Define the scope of work

Tell the AI what the work involves: type, scope, deliverables and deadlines. The more detailed the description, the more accurate the contract draft.
2

Set the payment terms

Choose the model (fix-price or T&M), payment milestones and invoice due dates. The AI adds penalty clauses for late payment.
3

Review IP and confidentiality

The AI automatically adds clauses on work ownership and confidentiality. Verify who owns the deliverable — the client or the contractor.
4

Send for signing

Enter both parties' emails. Signing happens online in a few minutes — no in-person meeting required.
