Master services agreement (MSA)

The umbrella contract for an ongoing vendor relationship

A foundational contract that sets the general terms (liability, payment, confidentiality, termination) governing an ongoing business relationship, usually paired with separate statements of work for each specific project. It lets two parties negotiate the framework once and add new work under it without renegotiating from scratch each time.
