- The services will cost more than $500
- The agreement includes intellectual property rights (regardless of the dollar amount)
- Certain other agreements that contain legal terms and conditions such as student clinical experience agreements, use of facilities/resources agreements, cooperative program agreements with other educational institutions, etc.
