Should a lawyer review my final contract?

Yes. While this template provides a professional and balanced foundation, every SaaS business has unique risks and requirements. It is highly recommended to have a qualified attorney review your final agreement to ensure it complies with your local laws and specific business model. Feel free to contact me directly if you need professional legal assistance with your review.

Is this SaaS agreement template suitable for B2C apps?

This template is primarily designed for B2B (Business-to-Business) relationships. It includes fields for corporate contact information and assumes the customer is a legal entity rather than an individual consumer. While some clauses apply to B2C, consumer laws are strictly regulated and are not covered in this standard B2B text.

Does the template include automatic price increases?

Yes. To help founders keep up with inflation and costs, the template includes an 'Annual Fees Adjustment' clause. It is currently set to automatically increase fees by 3% upon every renewal term, though you can edit this percentage in the Word document before signing.

How does this contract protect my Intellectual Property (IP)?

The agreement explicitly states that the Licensor (you) retains all rights, title, and interest in the software, code, and algorithms. It also includes specific restrictions preventing customers from reverse-engineering your platform, building competitive products, or scraping your data.

Can I use this template in any country?

The template is drafted with neutral legal language suitable for many common law jurisdictions (like the US, UK, and Canada). It includes a placeholder variable allowing you to specify the governing law (e.g., 'Laws of California' or 'Laws of Quebec') that will apply to the contract.

What happens if a customer stops paying?

The agreement provides clear remedies for non-payment. Accounts in arrears are subject to interest (12% per annum). Furthermore, a breach of payment obligations is considered a 'material breach,' granting you the right to terminate the agreement if not cured within 30 days.
