SaaS Contract Red-Flags Checklist

What's inside

• A contract review header: vendor, product, annual value, term, renewal date and reviewer.
• Pricing and renewal: price-increase caps, auto-renewal notice, ratcheting minimums, prepaid fees and overage charges.
• Data ownership and egress: ownership, export format, egress fees, retention after termination and use of your data to train AI models.
• Liability and indemnity: mutual caps, carve-outs, IP indemnity and consequential damages.
• SLA definitions: how uptime is defined, exclusions, service credits and a right to terminate for repeated failure.
• Exit assistance and security obligations: exit support and fees, schema documentation, certifications, breach notification, penetration testing and subprocessors.
• Each check explains what to negotiate and has columns for status and the contract clause reference.
