An agreement negotiated between two parties where one is the customer and the other the service provider. The SLA records a common understanding about services, priorities, responsibilities, guarantees and warranties. SLAs can be binding contracts but are often used by public sector bodies to set out their relationship in a given project without the intention to create legal relations.
