SaaS & Cloud Contracts

Cloud turned technology contracts from ownership into dependency. The questions that decide a SaaS or cloud relationship are rarely the license grant: they are the service description that defines what "the service" actually is, the SLA that defines what failure costs, the data terms that decide who may do what with whose information, the subprocessor chain you inherit without signing anything, and the exit terms you will only read carefully once — under pressure.

Who this is for

SaaS and cloud vendors designing the terms they scale on; enterprise buyers of critical cloud services; regulated customers whose own compliance travels through their providers' contracts.

What we do

  • Draft and negotiate SaaS, cloud, hosting and managed-services agreements — vendor side and customer side.
  • Design service descriptions and SLAs that describe the actual service, with remedies that actually move behaviour.
  • Structure data terms: data processing agreements, security annexes, international-transfer mechanics.
  • Map and contract for the subprocessor and fourth-party chain — the dependencies your customers and regulators will hold you responsible for.
  • Build exit and portability: data return, transition assistance, continuity.
  • Design standard terms and playbooks so a sales team can negotiate without escalating everything.

Why Cabo Advisory

Our partners wrote the first Swedish book on cloud computing and its standard-agreement commentary, followed by the standard work on cloud services — law, business and security. That combination is the point: cloud contracts are simultaneously technical, commercial and regulatory documents, and we read them all three ways.
