Jump to Section
What is a Service And Support Agreement?
A service and support agreement is a contrac that defines the rights and obligations of a one party providing services and support to another. This agreement can be used in across many industries, but is most often used to govern the relationship between stockholders or shareholders and the person who they're selling their shares to. In this case, the service and suppot agreement provides details regarding how many shares are being sold and transferrred, at what price, and on what date.
The service and support agreement can also be used to dictate what a shareholder will do if a vote standstill occurs.
