Legal & compliance

Agency agreements and UK GDPR

When an agency handles customer lists, CRM exports or audience data it acts as a processor under UK GDPR, and Article 28 requires written processing terms. A marketing agency contract should therefore include data processing provisions alongside the commercial terms.

Signatures captured on SigningVault are Simple Electronic Signatures under the Electronic Communications Act 2000 and the UK eIDAS Regulation. Every signature is stored with the signer's name, email, IP address and a UTC timestamp in a tamper-evident audit trail, so the agreement stands up if it is ever challenged.

  • Legally binding in England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
  • Tamper-evident audit trail with IP address and UTC timestamp
  • Signed PDF and certificate of completion for both parties
  • Fully editable — change any clause before you send it

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a separate data processing agreement?+

Not necessarily. The template includes UK GDPR Article 28 processor terms inside the agreement, which is sufficient for most agency engagements.

How should media spend be invoiced?+

Either on the client's own payment method with a management fee, or passed through with spend invoiced in advance. The template supports both and requires spend approval thresholds.

What notice period should an agency retainer have?+

Thirty to ninety days is standard in the UK, often after an initial three or six month committed term.

Can I stop a client poaching my staff?+

A reasonable non-solicitation clause for the term plus twelve months is generally enforceable in the UK, and is included.
