The Statement of Work (SOW) Contract is a critical document used to establish and govern specific service engagements between businesses operating under German law. This contract type is particularly important when detailed project specifications, deliverables, and terms need to be documented in a legally binding manner. The SOW Contract typically supplements or operates under a Master Services Agreement, providing project-specific details while ensuring compliance with German legal requirements, including the BGB and HGB. It should be used whenever a service engagement requires clear definition of scope, timelines, deliverables, acceptance criteria, and commercial terms. The document incorporates necessary protections for both parties while maintaining flexibility for project-specific requirements and industry standards.
