This checklist serves as a comprehensive reference guide for reviewing SaaS agreements, designed to help you navigate and assess each crucial aspect of a contract. SaaS agreements come with a variety of considerations, from technical functionality to data protection, licensing, and commercial terms. Given the complexity of these agreements, a structured approach is invaluable ensuring that no critical detail is overlooked, whether you're representing the customer or the vendor.
 
This checklist is organized by key sections that capture all vital elements of a SaaS contract. Rather than moving through it linearly, you’re encouraged to jump to the sections most relevant to your review context. For instance, if your priority is understanding data handling, the Customer Data section will guide you through what needs verification. When assessing operational details, the Technology, Features, and Functionality section covers critical questions about integrations, limitations, and infrastructure dependencies. This flexibility makes it easy to adapt the checklist to the specifics of each agreement, saving time while providing thorough coverage.
 
Using this checklist as a reference also means you can focus on both high-level and granular aspects of the contract. By addressing each section, you'll gain a clear picture of the agreement’s strengths, potential risks, and areas that may require further negotiation or clarification. Ultimately, this checklist is designed to simplify the contract review process, ensuring clarity, compliance, and alignment with both your business goals and legal requirements.
