Technology Contracts & Vendor Agreements
Technology contracts are not standard boilerplate — they are the legal infrastructure of your business. We draft and negotiate agreements that reflect how tech deals actually work.
Do You Actually Need This?
Technology contracts are not a back-office formality — these four situations put your business at legal risk right now.
You are signing a contract with a SaaS vendor, cloud provider, or technology partner.
Standard vendor form contracts are drafted to protect the vendor — not you. Enterprise MSAs, SaaS subscription agreements, and API terms routinely contain unlimited indemnification obligations, one-sided IP ownership clauses, and auto-renewal traps that compound over time.
You are entering an enterprise deal or signing an MSA with a large customer.
Enterprise customers impose their own paper — master service agreements with lengthy vendor requirements, security annexes, and data processing addenda. Signing enterprise paper without legal review often creates commitments that are incompatible with your insurance coverage, your tech stack, and your legal risk tolerance.
You are building an API, integration platform, or developer product.
API terms govern who can access your data and systems, what they can do with it, and what happens when they violate your rules. Missing IP ownership provisions, rate limit terms, or acceptable use restrictions in API agreements creates enforcement gaps that are expensive to remedy retroactively.
You have a vendor dispute over performance, data ownership, or termination rights.
Technology vendor disputes almost always come down to what the contract actually says about SLAs, data portability, termination for convenience, and post-termination data return. Without a properly drafted agreement, your leverage in the dispute depends entirely on the vendor's goodwill.

Your Questions Answered
An MSA is a framework contract that governs the overall relationship between two parties — covering IP ownership, confidentiality, liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — with individual statements of work (SOWs) or order forms setting out the specific services or products. Enterprise customers often require vendors to sign their MSA before entering specific deals.
The five highest-risk provisions in SaaS contracts: (1) data ownership and portability on termination, (2) unlimited indemnification obligations, (3) auto-renewal and termination notice requirements, (4) unilateral price change rights, and (5) governing law and dispute resolution terms. These are consistently the provisions that generate the most costly disputes.
API terms of service are the contract between an API provider and the developers or companies that access the API. They cover permitted use cases, rate limits, IP ownership of data accessed through the API, prohibited uses, and termination rights. Without robust API terms, a developer who misuses your API has no contractual obligation to stop.
Enterprise MSAs are negotiable despite being presented as standard. The highest-leverage provisions to negotiate: (1) limitation of liability mutual cap, (2) IP ownership of custom work product, (3) data portability and deletion on termination, (4) indemnification scope, and (5) governing law and arbitration. An experienced tech attorney can identify which provisions are negotiating positions vs. genuine non-starters.
A technology services agreement (TSA) is a contract for the delivery of technology-related services — software development, IT consulting, system integration. It covers deliverables, acceptance criteria, IP ownership, confidentiality, payment terms, and warranty provisions. TSAs are distinct from SaaS agreements because the customer is receiving bespoke work product, not a standardized software subscription.
