A South Dakota subcontractor agreement is drafted by a contractor to assign part of a project to a subcontractor and outline the terms of their arrangement. The completed agreement will include the subcontractor’s responsibilities, a description of the services, the start and end date of the project, and the schedule/amount of compensation. By entering into the contract, the subcontractor accepts responsibility for loss or damages that they or their hired personnel cause.

While the agreement is used to provide a clear plan of the involved parties’ roles and expectations, it will also set the terms for dispute resolution if an internal conflict arises during the assignment.
