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.
Dispute Resolution
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the dispute resolution clause aligns with the company's strategic interests by selecting favorable governing law and jurisdiction. Consider including arbitration to minimize litigation costs.
Negotiate for a neutral jurisdiction and governing law to ensure fairness. Advocate for mediation as a first step to resolve disputes amicably.
Essential elements
1
Governing Law
Specifies applicable legal framework.
2
Jurisdiction
Determines where disputes are resolved.
3
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Includes arbitration or mediation options.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the clause does not align with business goals or lacks clarity on jurisdiction.
EDIT
Reject if the clause exposes the company to unfavorable jurisdictions or costly litigation.
ADD
Add language if the clause is missing or lacks alternative dispute resolution methods.
PRO TIP
Always specify both governing law and jurisdiction to avoid ambiguity in dispute resolution.
