What is an Intercompany Services Agreement?

An intercompany service agreement, sometimes abbreviated to ICA, is a contract made between two companies or divisions of a company that are owned by the same parent company. This contract is used for internal transactions between the two divisions, like the sale or transfer of goods or services. Intercompany services agreements can be used for a variety of transactions like cost and revenue sharing and intellectual property licenses. Companies cannot profit from intercompany sales, so the service agreements are a way to keep track of all transactions and avoid negative tax repercussions. ICAs should include the names of all parties involved and what goods or services are being transferred. Different companies may require additional information for record or tax purposes.

Common Sections in Intercompany Services Agreements

Below is a list of common sections included in Intercompany Services Agreements. These sections are linked to the below sample agreement for you to explore.

Intercompany Services Agreement Sample

Exhibit 10.22

INTERCOMPANY SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Intercompany Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of 19 January 2006 between Language Line, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries (collectively, “LL US”), and Language Line Ltd, a limited company formed under the laws of the England and Wales (“LL UK” and, together with LL US, the “Parties”).

On or about the date of this Agreement, an affiliate of LL US will acquire all of the outstanding share capital of LL UK. From and after the time of that acquisition, the Parties anticipate that they will provide certain services to each other in the furtherance of their separate businesses. The Parties are entering into this Agreement in order to memorialize their agreement regarding such services.

Now, therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which they hereby acknowledge, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Services to be Provided. From time to time, as the Parties may agree, the Parties will provide services to each other and will compensate each other for such services as provided in this Agreement. The Parties anticipate that, initially, such services and compensation will be as follows:

(a) Administrative and Sales Support Services. LL US will provide general administrative and sales support services to LL UK on an as-needed basis. Such services will include oversight by LL US’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and other senior management, and assistance of the manager(s) of LL US’s UK sales operations. In consideration for such services provided during any particular period, LL UK will pay LL US a fee that represents the allocated cost to LL US for the individuals providing such services, based on LL US’s estimate of the portion of each such person’s time that will be devoted to matters relating to LL UK during the period in question, and a reasonable allocation of LL US’s related overhead cost.

(b) Sales Commissions. If sales personnel of LL US’s UK operation generate sales of LL UK services to a customer on LL UK’s behalf, then LL UK will pay LL US a commission equal to 10% of the net revenues resulting from those sales.

(c) Call Management System. LL US will permit LL UK to utilize LL US’s Titan call management system to route, manage and track calls interpreted for LL UK’s customers. In consideration for LL UK’s use of the Titan system, LL UK will pay LL US £5,000 per month.

(d) Interpreter Services. The Parties anticipate that the Parties will use the same contract interpreters located throughout the world. Each Party will directly compensate those contract interpreters for services rendered for such Party. The Parties also anticipate that some interpretation services for LL UK’s customers will be provided by interpreters who are employees of LL US. For such interpretation services, LL UK will pay LL US at a fair market rate (which, at the present time, is approximately £0.70 per minute).

 

1


The Parties will review the amounts charged for the services described above (and for other services that may be agreed upon from time to time) and adjust them as they deem appropriate, with the intent that, considered as a whole, the arrangements under this Agreement represent arm’s-length dealings between the Parties.

2. Nature of Relationship. In performing services pursuant to this Agreement, the Party providing such services will be an independent contractor of the Party for whom such services are performed, and this Agreement will not be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture or other arrangement between the Parties.

3. Miscellaneous. Either Party may assign its rights under this Agreement (including for collateral purposes), but no such assignment will relieve such Party of any obligation under this Agreement unless the other Party so agrees in writing. This Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit of the Parties, and no other person or entity will have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise as a result of or arising out of this Agreement.

Recent  ContractsCounsel Client  Review:
5.0

"Hired LeMont for a compliance review — a claim I was about to print and an agreement I was about to sign. He asked good questions before starting instead of guessing at my facts, and one of them caught a real gap in my own draft. Where the law was unsettled he told me what he'd do rather than stopping at "it depends," which is the entire reason I hired a lawyer instead of trying to read the statutes myself. He also surfaced something my own research had missed entirely. He flagged an issue he could easily have billed me to analyze, and told me to wait until it was actually a problem. Delivered on time, at the flat fee quoted, no surprises. I'll be hiring him again."

Recent  ContractsCounsel Client  Review:
5.0

"This was my first commercial lease, and the contract was lengthy and complicated, so I’m very glad I had Rich to help me through it. He was professional, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Since English is my second language, that meant a lot to me. Rich was very thorough in reviewing the contract and took the time to have regular calls with me to walk through questions and details. He also communicated directly with my leasing agent when needed, which helped keep things moving and get some of the issues sorted out. I really appreciated the time and attention he gave throughout the process. His guidance made me feel much more comfortable with my first commercial lease, and I would definitely recommend him to others."
