Service Level Agreement (SLA)

An SLA establishes measurable service performance standards between provider and customer. This playbook explains methods to draft enforceable metrics, remedies for non-performance, and escalation procedures.

Termination & Exit Strategy

Why This Matters: Lack of clear exit terms can lock parties into unfavorable arrangements and hinder migration. Well-defined exit strategies mitigate operational and compliance risks.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure termination clauses align with business goals, allowing flexibility for convenience and protection against breaches. Negotiate favorable data return or destruction terms.

If you're the Contractor:

Secure reasonable notice periods for termination and ensure obligations are clear. Protect proprietary processes during data return or destruction.

Essential elements

1

Termination for Convenience

Allows termination with notice.
2

Termination for Material Breach

Immediate termination for breaches.
3

Data Return or Destruction

Manage data post-termination.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits to align with internal standards and ensure compliance with business objectives.

EDIT

Reject clauses that do not provide adequate protection or flexibility for termination.

ADD

Add clauses to address missing termination rights or data processes.

PRO TIP

Always ensure termination clauses are clear and provide for a smooth transition to avoid operational disruptions.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Comprehensive Termination Rights

"The Client may terminate this Agreement for convenience by providing the Service Provider with thirty (30) days written notice. Upon termination, the Service Provider shall return or destroy all Client data."
NEUTRAL

UNFAVORABLE

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, ensure termination clauses provide for immediate exit options to mitigate potential losses.

Data-Intensive Contracts

For contracts involving significant data handling, emphasize robust data return or destruction processes to protect sensitive information.

Long-Term Agreements

In long-term agreements, include periodic review clauses to reassess termination terms and ensure they remain aligned with evolving business needs.
