Service Agreement for Technology Companies
Service agreements for SaaS and technology companies.
Engage implementation partners, contractors, and customers with terms that handle SLAs, data processing, IP ownership, and acceptable-use.
Free to start — No credit card required
Technology services agreements need to do three jobs at once: define the service, address the data flowing through it, and lock down IP ownership. Skip any one of these and you'll renegotiate the whole thing during procurement review.
Why technology companies need a service agreement
- DPA and security exhibits are now table stakes for enterprise buyers.
- IP ownership of work product must be unambiguous from day one.
- SLA credits are negotiated harder than the underlying fee.
Common scenarios
SaaS customer agreements
Subscription terms with SLA, support tiers, DPA, and acceptable-use baked in.
Implementation services
Professional-services SOWs for onboarding, migration, or integration work tied to a SaaS deal.
Engineering contractor work
Independent engineers building features or platforms with clear IP assignment and confidentiality.
Clauses to pay attention to
Common questions
- Do I need a DPA on every SaaS deal?
- If you process personal data on a customer's behalf, yes — and EU/UK customers will require one with SCCs. Build it as a standard exhibit, not a one-off.
- Should service credits be the sole remedy for SLA misses?
- Most SaaS contracts make them the sole remedy, capped at a percentage of fees. Enterprise customers will push hard to remove the cap — pick your battles.
- Who owns work product from professional services?
- Default for paid services is customer ownership of deliverables, with the vendor retaining rights to its underlying tools, libraries, and know-how.
