"Deliverables" are the tangible goods or intellectual property provided under an agreement for payment. "Services" are not goods or deliverables, which are the tangible results of the services. For example, if a consultant is engaged to meet with and better understand a customer's manufacturing system and then provide a written report summarizing how to improve the system, the meeting and understanding would be the services, while the report itself would be a deliverable.

Party 1:
Party 2:
DELIVERABLES (Party-1 Sells) - What are the Deliverables Party-1 will provide pursuant to this Agreement?
Once a customer takes ownership and title to goods, if the goods are damaged or lost, then that becomes the customer's responsibility. Because of these consequences, the parties usually discuss and agree on the point where ownership, title and risk of loss are transferred to the customer. "Acceptance" is the point after the customer receives the Deliverables and has concluded that the Deliverables comply with the Agreement's requirements.

Party 2:
OWNERSHIP, TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS (Deliverables) (Party-1 Sells) - At what point does ownership, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer?
A fee in this context can take many forms, including a flat fee, the total of the hours/days incurred times the hourly/daily rates, a guaranteed maximum fee, a per Service/Deliverable fee, a per milestone fee, or other arrangement.

"Payment Schedule" means when the vendor will bill the customer. The customer may prefer not to be billed until after acceptance, which is a concept that gives the customer a short testing period after receiving goods or services to determine whether or not they are satisfactory. The vendor instead prefers to invoice the customer upon receipt of goods or services, so that the vendor can recognize its revenue sooner.

Parties may also want to impose a hard cap on their liability. For instance, a party could state that it won't be liable for more than $10,000, or for more than the fees under the contract.
