Analyzing a Service Agreement
A small business hires an independent IT consultant to manage its computer network. The agreement is for a one-year term and specifies a monthly fee. The contract requires the consultant to be on-call during business hours, respond to issues within one hour, and use software and procedures dictated by the business. The business provides the consultant with a dedicated workspace on its premises. Based on the fundamental differences between types of contracts, analyze whether this arrangement more closely resembles the temporary transfer of authority over labor or the permanent transfer of an asset.
