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.

Pricing and Payment

Why This Matters: Ambiguous pricing provisions can lead to cash flow issues, billing disputes, and unanticipated costs.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Provider:

Ensure the fee structure is transparent and includes all potential costs. Align payment schedules with cash flow needs and establish clear invoicing procedures.

If you're the Customer:

Negotiate for flexible payment terms that accommodate project timelines. Ensure change orders are clearly defined to allow for equitable pricing adjustments.
