Managed Service Agreement Provided By Axcient Form

Use a Sample Managed Service Agreement Provided By Axcient template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this managed service agreement covers

A Managed Service Agreement Provided By Axcient Form records the terms under which Axcient provides managed technology services to a customer. It identifies the parties, covered services, service responsibilities, fees, support expectations, data-handling duties, and termination conditions. The customer reviews the agreement, completes required business details, and signs; the provider then retains the executed record. With signNow, the agreement can be uploaded, its fillable fields prepared, routed to authorized signers, completed electronically, and stored with an audit trail. Contract-specific obligations remain controlled by the agreement and applicable U.S. law.

Who uses this service agreement

Service providers

IT consultants and managed service providers use the agreement to define monitoring, backup, maintenance, support, fees, exclusions, and customer access obligations before service begins.

Business customers

Small businesses, healthcare practices, professional firms, and other customers use it to confirm what Axcient services cover, who may authorize changes, and how data is handled.

Businesses that use this agreement

The agreement is useful wherever an outside provider manages technology services, customer systems, backups, or support obligations under defined contract terms.

  • A solo IT consultant can use the agreement to define recurring support, customer responsibilities, service exclusions, and payment terms before accepting a new client.
  • A regional healthcare practice can route the agreement to an authorized administrator while documenting security duties and a business associate agreement when protected health information is involved.
  • An enterprise technology team can use controlled templates, delegated sending, role-based approvals, and audit trails for agreements covering multiple business units or service environments.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Best practices for agreement records

Accurate version control, signer evidence, access restrictions, and record retention help preserve the agreement’s business and evidentiary value.

Export the signed agreement and audit trail

Export the completed agreement, certificate of completion, and audit trail after every signer finishes. Store the files together with the final agreement version, effective date, and documented approval record.

Match retention to the record type

Apply the retention rule that matches the records held under the agreement. HIPAA records require six years from creation or last effective date under 45 CFR §164.530(j); state and contractual requirements may be longer.

Restrict access to sensitive agreements

Use access controls for agreements containing customer systems, credentials, or personal information. Limit administrators and delegated senders, review permissions periodically, and preserve evidence of authorized access.

Control agreement versions securely

Maintain a controlled template containing the current service scope, exclusions, fees, security duties, and termination terms. Retire superseded templates so signers cannot approve outdated obligations.

Legal standing of the agreement

A signed managed service agreement can be used as business evidence when the parties demonstrate intent, consent, signer attribution, and reliable record retention under the ESIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and applicable state law, including UETA or New York ESRA. Those frameworks exclude wills, certain court orders, and specified family-law documents.

Why teams look for DocuSign alternatives

Troubleshooting agreement completion

Resolve signing problems by checking the agreement version, signer authority, routing order, plan limits, consent disclosures, and record-retention process.

Upload the current PDF and confirm every party’s legal name, service scope, fees, and effective date before placing fields. Business plans provide templates and audit trails; field placement cannot correct an incomplete contract.

Use signNow’s recipient routing and role assignments to send the Managed Service Agreement to authorized representatives. The Business plan includes templates and audit trails; Business Premium adds bulk send when multiple agreements use the same structure.

The Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month with annual billing and includes 100 signature invites per user per year. Additional invite charges may apply, so review plan usage before sending large agreement batches.

For consumer-facing electronic records, ESIGN requires disclosure of the right to paper records, electronic-access capability, and consent-withdrawal procedures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Configure the disclosure process before requesting a customer signature.

signNow lists HIPAA compliance as requiring a business associate agreement. If the managed service relationship involves protected health information, confirm the BAA and define security and breach duties in the agreement.

Export the completed agreement and signNow audit trail after all parties sign. Preserve the final record in an access-controlled repository, and apply the retention period required for the customer’s industry and state law.
