Cloud Services and SaaS Agreements


Cloud computing  and SaaS software-as-a-service agreements present unique legal issues regarding privacy and control of data, among other issues. In order to appropriately address legal issues involved in cloud software agreements, it is essential to understand where a client’s data lives, how it is processed, and how the data is shared.  A software attorney understands software-related legal issues. Attorney Maeder’s prior work experience as a computer analyst specializing as a database architect creating end-to-end database solutions for customers, enable her to quickly understand her clients’ data collection, use, and sharing practices and identify and appropriately address the legal issues involved.


Software Development and Licensing Agreements


Maeder Law Office's software attorney(s) represents licensors and licensees in regards to development, negotiation, and review of software licensing agreements. A software licensing agreement should fit the practices of your business model while appropriately reducing risk and protecting business interests. At its most basic level, some of the key issues to consider in software licensing agreements are whether the software license agreement grants the right to use the software as intended and does it restrict the software from being used in a way that is not intended. Other factors to consider are the duration of the software license, number of users authorized to use the software, and any limitations on its use. Additional terms in software license agreements may include update, maintenance, and support of the software, as well as provisions covering risk allocation, warranties, and other types of business transaction terms.
