Contract or hire services??

[Pete Noire]

I think I should use "contract" services, but I am not completely sure. ???

Please give us full sentences to consider and tell what kind of services you have in mind.

 

[Pete Noire]

Graphic design.

 

[emsr2d2]

OK, and now please give us full sentences to consider, as I requested in post #2.

 

[Pete Noire]

The contract/hiring of services described in this section.

 

[emsr2d2]

That isn't a full sentence and it makes no sense.

You could try writing your sentence in French and posting it in the Other Languages forum.

Don't forget to include a finite verb.

 

[Pete Noire]

These terms and conditions shall govern the contract/hire of the services described in this section.

 

[Pete Noire]

These terms and conditions shall govern the contracting/hiring of services.

 

[tedmc]

These terms and conditions shall govern the engagement of services.

It is understood that a contract is in place whenever there is such an engagement.

 

[Pete Noire]

It is understood that a contract is in place whenever there is such an engagement.

Are you sure? I understand that the terms and conditions shall govern future services to be provided.

 

[emsr2d2]

If these are the legal terms and conditions attached to providing a business service, you would probably be better placed to consult a lawyer, not an English forum. I'm fairly sure there are specific legal terms you need to use.

 

[Pete Noire]

Please forget about lawyers, legal terms and conditions. Is this sentence correct?:The terms and conditions shall govern the contracting of graphic design services.

 

[tedmc]

The terms and conditions shall govern the contracting of graphic design services.

I think the above is tautologous. It is like saying " a contract should follow contract terms and conditions".

 

[Rover_KE]

Please forget about lawyers, legal terms and conditions. Is this sentence correct?:The terms and conditions shall govern the contracting of graphic design services.

How can we forget about legal terms and conditions? That's what the sentence is clearly all about. Why else would you be asking it?

 

[konungursvia]

Yes, it is correct, Noire. But normally it would read "The *following* [or aforementioned] provisions shall govern the contracting of graphic design services.

 

[tedmc]

Are you sure? I understand that the terms and conditions shall govern future services to be provided.

A formal contract is signed for each commission with a fixed tenure. You cannot have an open-ended contract to provide "future services". I am also in the business of providing design services.
