Software as a Service (SaaS) Agreement

A SaaS Agreement governs access to cloud-hosted software services, typically under a subscription model. This playbook covers service uptime, data ownership, termination, and liability limitations for cloud-based offerings.

Confidentiality

Why This Matters: Loose confidentiality terms can lead to unauthorized disclosures, competitive harm, and breach of trust.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Provider:

Ensure the confidentiality clause includes specific definitions of confidential information and clear obligations to protect it. Limit disclosures to necessary parties and include strong carve-outs for legal compliance.

If you're the Customer:

Negotiate for reasonable care standards in protecting confidential information. Seek to include exceptions for disclosures required by law or with mutual consent.

Essential elements

1

Confidential Information Definition

Defines what is considered confidential.
2

Obligations to Safeguard

Details how information is protected.
3

Disclosure Exceptions

Lists permissible disclosure scenarios.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits to clarify definitions and obligations, ensuring alignment with industry standards.

EDIT

Reject clauses that allow overly broad disclosures or lack clear obligations.

ADD

Add language to address industry-specific compliance, such as GDPR.

PRO TIP

Always ensure confidentiality obligations extend beyond the contract term to protect ongoing interests.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Strong Confidentiality Obligations

"The parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary information disclosed during the term of this agreement, ensuring it is not disclosed to third parties without prior written consent."
NEUTRAL

Reasonable Care Standard

"Confidential information shall be protected with reasonable care, and disclosures are limited to those necessary for the performance of this agreement."
UNFAVORABLE

Broad Disclosure Allowance

"Confidential information may be disclosed to any third party as deemed necessary by either party."

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, confidentiality clauses should include enhanced protection measures and stricter disclosure limitations to mitigate potential competitive harm.

Cross-Border Transactions

For cross-border transactions, ensure the clause addresses international data protection laws and includes provisions for data transfer compliance.

Joint Ventures

In joint ventures, confidentiality clauses should clearly define shared information and establish mutual obligations to protect it, fostering trust and collaboration.
