This CLE course will guide business and technology counsel in drafting contracts for cloud computing services customers. The program will focus on the key terms in these contracts and discuss how they differ from traditional software license terms. The panelist will address some of the most common mistakes attorneys make in cloud computing contracts.

Description

Our speaker will also outline the three key cloud computing models: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). He will focus on SaaS, but he will explain the issues at stake in all three and discuss how they differ and how they're similar.

The program will focus on:

  • Data privacy and security
  • Service levels and SLAs
  • Other performance objectives
  • Warranties
  • Termination and transition assistance
  • Indemnities re IP, data breach, and other issues
  • Limits of liability
  • Data ownership and control

Listen as David W. Tollen, Founder at Sycamore Legal, explains all these issues and more, along with best practices for drafting agreements for each model.
