Contract Checklist

SaaS Subscription Agreement Review Guide

Buying software for your company? Watch out for 'auto-renewal' traps and data lock-in that makes it impossible to switch vendors later.

Critical Red Flags

Auto-Renewal without Notice: Contract renews for a full year if you don't cancel exactly 90 days before.

Data Extraction Fees: Charging you thousands of dollars just to export your own company data.

Unilateral Price Hikes: Vendor can increase subscription fees by any percentage upon renewal.

Weak Uptime SLA: No actual credits/refunds if the service is down for days during critical business hours.

Must-Have Clauses

Data Ownership & Portability: Clear clause stating you own the data and can export it in CSV/JSON anytime.

99.9% Uptime Guarantee: Tiered service credits (discounts) if availability drops below specific thresholds.

Termination for Convenience: Right to cancel with 30-60 days notice even before the term ends.

Information Security Audit: Right to request SOC2 or equivalent security compliance reports annually.
