01

Purpose and Scope

The joint venture agreement for a service page begins with a clear definition of its purpose and scope. This section lays the groundwork by specifying the exact services the venture will offer such as web development, digital marketing, or customer support and identifies the target market or geographic regions involved, preventing any future confusion among the partners.

02

Contributions of Each Party

Next, the agreement details the contributions from each partner in straightforward terms. Beyond just financial inputs, this covers intellectual property, equipment, specialized skills, or existing client networks that everyone brings to the table, making sure all parties recognize their specific roles in creating value for the service page right from the start.

03

Governance and Decision-Making

A vital part of the agreement addresses governance and how decisions are made day-to-day. It explains the setup of a management committee if needed, how voting rights align with ownership shares, and which key choices like signing new contracts or altering service offerings—require full agreement from all partners to keep operations smooth and aligned.

Profit and Loss Sharing

Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property gets its own focused section, clarifying ownership of elements like code, designs, content, or trademarks developed for the service page.

Term and Termination

The agreement specifies the duration of the joint venture—whether for a set time or tied to milestones for the service page—and lists reasons for early termination, such as serious breaches, bankruptcy, or mutual decision. It also details the handling of assets, debts, and active client agreements when the partnership dissolves.
