00:00A service contract is a contract by which a person, called the contractor, undertakes to carry out a work or
00:06a specific service provided to another person, called a client, in exchange for payment.

00:16'the authority of the client as if they were an employee.'
00:18For example, when someone asks a plumber to repair their boiler for a fee, this is a
00:24company contract.

00:31of a work, and not simply the transfer of ownership of an asset.
