Parties, documents and specifics for every deal scheme
No lawyer, no translator — a ready bilingual document for your type of service
Import of services (you're the client) or export of services (you're the contractor). The generator adapts the sections to each case.

Import or export of services — the generator adapts the structure
You are the client: you engage a foreign contractor (IT development, consulting, certification).
You are the contractor: you work for a foreign client (engineering, IT, education).
Software development, technical support, cloud services — with stages and acceptance by certificate.
Consulting, design, expert review — milestone payments and a certificate of completed work.
Services have their own specifics — the generator accounts for them

A contract for services with a foreign partner is the basis for a cross-border payment for work and services: IT development, consulting, engineering, marketing, licences. The bank, as a currency control agent, may request it for the payment (Art. 23(4) of 173-FZ), and an import contract from 3 million RUB or an export contract from 10 million RUB is registered with the bank (clause 4.3 of Instruction 181-I). Unlike a goods contract, there's no customs clearance or Incoterms here — but it has its own mandatory elements.
Performance of a service is confirmed not by a delivery note but by a certificate of completed work. The certificate is the basis for the final settlement and for the bank. It's important to describe the form of the certificate, the procedure, and the deadlines for signing it in advance, along with the steps to take on a reasoned refusal of acceptance.
On import of services, the Russian company is the client: it pays a foreign contractor (for example, for offshore IT development). On export of services, the Russian side is the contractor: it receives currency from a foreign client. They differ in tax treatment (VAT under Art. 148 of the Tax Code), the direction of payment, and the requirements for advance refunds.
For services with a creative or technical result (software, project documentation, design), the intellectual property section is critical: who receives rights and when. A confidentiality clause (NDA) sits next to it. The builder's service template does not include these sections — they are added to the finished contract.
Payments for services are subject to currency control just like payments for goods. For imports of services from 3 million RUB or exports from 10 million RUB, the deal is registered with a unique registration number assigned. The generated contract states the subject, price, currency, payment and advance refund deadlines — the law requires the deadlines for obligations to be set out in the contract (Art. 19(1.1) of 173-FZ).
