Example
Example: a six-month contract for Portuguese lessons in Rio, paid by the hour
John Example, an American living in Rio de Janeiro, hires a private teacher, Mariana Exemplo, for Portuguese lessons twice a week and preparation for the Celpe-Bras exam, at R$ 120 an hour for six months from 1 March 2027. Both have a CPF. The form is in English; the services and payment terms you type go into the contract as written, so type them in Portuguese.
- Client and provider: names, CPF numbers and addresses. Services, one per line, in Portuguese: Aulas particulares de português para estrangeiros… and Preparação para o exame Celpe-Bras.
- Start 1 March 2027, Term: Fixed, 6 months. The contract runs to 31 August 2027 and adds the art. 603 clause: a client who ends it early without cause pays what is due and half of the rest of the term.
- Price 120, “An hour”; how it is paid: até o dia 5 de cada mês, pelas horas do mês anterior, por PIX.

Frequently asked questions
- How long can it run?
- At most four years (Código Civil art. 598), or open-ended with notice.
- Do I have to write in Portuguese?
- The clauses are written for you in Portuguese. What you type — the services, how it is paid, any extra clauses — goes into the contract as it is, so type those in Portuguese too; names, numbers and addresses need no translating.
- What changes between a fixed term and an open-ended one?
- A fixed term (up to 48 months) gives the start and end dates and the art. 603 clause: a client who ends it early without cause pays what is due plus half of what the rest of the term would have paid. Open-ended, it runs until either side gives the written notice you set, 30 days unless you change it (art. 599).
