Common questions from technology companies
- What should a SaaS agreement cover beyond pricing?
- A solid SaaS agreement addresses data ownership and portability (customers must be able to export their data), service level commitments with measurable uptime guarantees, data processing and security obligations (especially if you handle PII), acceptable use policies, liability caps, and clear terms around subscription changes, cancellation, and refunds. If you serve enterprise customers, expect requests for custom SLA addendums and data processing agreements.
- Why do tech startups need IP assignment agreements?
- Without a signed IP assignment, contractors and even co-founders may retain ownership of the code they wrote. This creates serious problems during fundraising — investors and acquirers require clean IP ownership as part of due diligence. Every person who contributed code, designs, or inventions should sign an IP assignment that transfers all rights to the company, with a clear list of any prior inventions they want to exclude.
- How do I protect my source code when hiring contractors?
- Use a combination of an NDA (to protect what they see), an IP assignment (to ensure you own what they build), and clear access controls in your development agreement. The contract should specify that all code is work-for-hire, require contractors to use your version control and security practices, and include a clause requiring return or deletion of all code and credentials upon project completion.
