Notes to answerer
Asker: Não se trata de meio período de trabalho, mas sim de obrigação de meio, em que o contratado se compromete a executar uma tarefa confiada pelo contratante com zelo, esforço, profissionalismo, dedicação e diligência, mas sem a obrigação de obter o resultado.

contract for the supply of services


Explanation:
"Em um conceito mais técnico, obrigações de meio são as que o contratado assume não com o fito de obter uma finalidade certa e desejada, mas pelas quais se compromete a exercer com zelo,
prudência, esforço, dedicação e diligência, além da inteligência em benefício do objeto do contrato, na execução de uma tarefa a ele confiada pelo contratante." OBRIGAÇÕES DE MEIO, DE RESULTADO E DE GARANTIA; Waldir de Pinho Veloso

Example sentence(s):
  • Whatever changes are in store, the LOF remains a 'best endeavours' contract, meaning the salvor has an obligation to throw all their resources at the problem.

Reference: aims and means contract?

Reference information:
"contrato de meio" is a contract in which one party undertakes to make its best efforts to achieve a stated result but with no guarantee of the outcome. Examples: when a doctor treats a patiente, when a lawyer represents his client in a lawsuit.

"contrato de resultado" is one in which one party guarantees the outcome. Ex. to build a house.

I am not certain of the terms in English.
