A South Dakota subcontractor agreement is a contract between a contractor and a subcontractor that lays out terms by which the subcontractor agrees to work on part of a project that the contractor has been hired to manage. This type of agreement is always made with the contractor and not with the client. Therefore, the contractor is responsible for fulfilling their obligations towards the subcontractor with regards to payment and expenses. A subcontractor agreement is legally binding and allows either party to pursue litigation in the event of a dispute.
