Software Development Agreement

A Software Development Agreement governs custom software creation, specifying scope, milestones, and IP ownership. This playbook highlights negotiation on deliverables, acceptance testing, and post-delivery warranties.

Data Protection & Privacy

Why This Matters: Data breaches and non-compliance carry significant regulatory fines, litigation risk, and reputational harm, so precise obligations and processes are essential to minimize exposure.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure that all data protection clauses are comprehensive and align with the company's internal data protection policies. Negotiate for strong security measures and clear breach notification procedures.

If you're the Developer:

Focus on limiting liability and ensuring that the data protection obligations are reasonable and achievable. Propose amendments to clauses that may impose excessive burdens.
